Default 79 Chevy Van: Hard Line From Fuel Pump To Carburetor

Not having any success finding a source to replace the hard tube line that is configured to put on my 1979 Chevy Van G20, 350 motor. Local auto stores do not have access nor cross reference of same engine/year used on other lines/models. They want to sell a section of straight line with the fittings and you bent it to fit. As the 90 degree bend at the fuel pump connection is very short, a hand tube bender can't be used with the flair so close. I have had no success, either on line.

Help is appreciated.

I'd recommend NOT having any sharp turns in the fuel line as that can cause vapor lock. I'd suggest if the flared end is good, from the fuel pump, cut it off, and go with flex gas line. You can get a short piece of hard line, cut both ends off, and use flex to both ends.
