Unhappy I need some help guys.

I just installed a new fuel filter last week. Well I apparently crossed threaded the bolt to the filter and it started leaking. So I g o today to replace it thinking it was the filter. Well tighten it down as far as it will go (which wasn't far about a 1/4 of the bolt was in) and I turn the car on then gas is gushing out of the filter. I look and see that the bolt hook up on fuel line is stripped and theres nothing I can do. I saw that the fuel line goes to a in front of the car connector, can I just replace that line or what. Im stuck w/o a car. Is there a gm # for that? Its the line going from the filter to a black connector under the drivers side. thank you for any help or ideas.
