I need a way to tap into the fuel line between the mechanical fuel pump and
the carburator so I can can determine fuel pressure on a carburated L320
engine.  I'm looking for a fitting ( a Tee? ) that goes from a -6 size fuel
line hose to a -3 remote pressure sensor hose.  Any suggestions?

[Don, you might check your local building supply store for a machined
brass female tee that would do the job with a minimum of parts.  I'll
bet you could find one with 1/4NPT on the run and 1/8NPT on the side.
Then use AN816-6 nipples for the runs and an AN816-3 nipple for the side
and you've got it.  You could also just make your own little manifold out
of a piece of 1" square 6061T-6 aluminum.  It would only have to be about
1.5" long to do what you're trying to do.  There are some photos on the
LML website under the Hydraulics & Landing Gear heading that show some
manifolds made by Skip Van Ness, although they're way overkill for what
you're trying to accomplish.  The end result would be the same, however.
Just a few random thoughts.   <Marv>   ]
