DON'T put any heat near that thing. And if you do work on it, remove the pipe from the car first.
Many different paths to skin this cat. How I would do it-
To do a proper repair, you'll need to replace the fuel pipe from the pump to the carb to do it right.
In a pinch, and as a temporary move only, you can use a piece of 3/8" ID (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) hose rated for FUEL. Don't use any old hose, ensure it's compatible with gasoline use.
Remove the pipe from the car and drain it. Flush it out with acetone or alcohol or something that will evaporate quickly. Using a tubing cutter, you can cut a small bad section out of the line. If you're bold, a hacksaw would do but you run the risk of shaving bits and creating a small spark which could ruin your day if it's not devoid of fuel vapors. Plus, a tubing cutter is neater. It may take a few rolls around the tube to cut it, but there you go. A couple of hose clamps and the piece of tube and install on the car before you tighten the clamps. Ensure they're tight enough to prevent leaks. Check for leaks and fix as necessary.
Then, either find a new fuel pipe pre-bent or get one bent up to fit your car with the proper flare fittings. That's the best way to fix it permanently.
