Closer to the outlet is easy. Make the bend then flare it. It only needs a single flare and even cheap flare tools tend to do those pretty well.
You can also buy the tubing in bulk, like 25' coils, for example. It's not very expensive and you get a lot to practice with. Sell the bad ones as abstract art.

 

Yeah, I've got this one ready for the auction block now, lol Tightened a seep and the line is junk now, Read another technique is fill tube with sand and tape the ends to make tight bends. How come brake line requires a double flare, fuel line doesn't? Must be the lower pressure.

 

The flare used has to do with pressure. Carburetor fuel lines are much lower than brake line.

Sand does help. I don't understand why you would want to go through all that trouble, though. The radius in your picture is fine. If anything, you want the radius to be larger, not smaller and you have enough room that there is no sense in making it smaller.
If you cut and flare the tubing after you bend, it will be close enough to the pump.

 

Well the pre-cut flared tubes are in 10" increments. 40" is way too much, 30" is almost not enough. These are double flared, fwiw. Dual use, but who uses 5/16 brake line? Hm. I bought a new section and got it to work just carefully bending the last route to the carb by hand. (argh!)

Feels a LOT better knowing there aren't any hose clamps or rubber hose around hot exhaust manifolds.

 

Tedster, how does that 21256 lower radiator hose fit?


Is it the proper size on both ends?


I have a flex hose on my 64, but would like a molded hose.

 

It's the "correct" hose afaik, works fine, don't even think I had to cut it to length. Re-installed existing spring from old hose. For some reason new lower radiator hoses don't come with springs anymore? Guess they aren't needed, so they claim. Have my doubts.
