I rebuilt my Edelbrock 1403 carb and am going to be putting it back on my Small Block 350 4-bolt main from a 1975 C20 soon. The fuel pump is stock, as is the manifold, but I have an adapter between the carb and the manifold. I am using a hardline 90 degree adapter on the carb with a fuel filter on the end.

My question is: are there any fuel lines that are pre-bent that might work with that setup? If the top section that goes back towards the carb is long enough, I would be OK with cutting and flaring the end to connect it directly to the fuel filter / hard line on the carb.

Otherwise, is it likely that I will have to bend the fuel line myself, and if so is it really that difficult? I have a pipe bender and flare tool from harbor freight, if that helps.
