2 choices, (well 3 if you count possibly burning the car to the ground) Get a pre-bent line from one of the vendors, install a new filter in the carb and go with that, or (my choice) make a new line from the pump to the carb and install an inline AN fiting type fuel filter in that. The inline filters have more capacity that the one in the carb so they won't plug as fast if you get a load of bad fuel. But as paul 74 stated, the filter in the carb is plenty.
sorry for the ignorance but what is an AN fitting type fuel filter

I used both but felt more comfortable with the solid tubing. The braided line is simply rubber with a fancy covering. And that rubber is subject to deterioration that can't be seen. But there is no doubt that it is a much simpler way of connecting things up.
BTW, here are AN 37* fittings.
