Fuel line pinch?

Fuel line pinch? <Solved>
I'm working through some fuel supply issues, will be replacing the fuel pump, but I also noticed that the bend in the line at the pump is pretty tight and creates a bit of a pinch. Is this anything to worry about trying to straighten out? And if so, how to do so without mangling the line?

I cannt imagine that small of a pinch will effect flow. Can you update your profile or add to your post the year and engine ?

Updated. I was thinking the same, but I didn't want to go through the replacement and something so simple to still be messing me up, so wanted to solicit other opinions.

That pinch is fine, dont try and fix it. And find the "S" line. ITs worth the few bucks it'll cost but shop around to save on shipping

Hi Jim
I have attached a few pictures from one of my unrestored 57
You look to be getting a little to close to the exhaust
Note the location of the last clip to the frame
