Don asks,
>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

Don, some carbs have 1/8" pipe plugs that can be
removed with an allen wrench and replaced with a 1/8"
pipe to AN elbow. In some cases there are two plugs,
one of which taps in downstream of the carb  fine mesh
screen, allowing you to detect low fuel pressure  due
to a plugged screen. The 1/8" teflon brake lines with
braded shield make a nice connection to a transducer
on the firewall, likwise for oil pressure.

Try to avoid hanging long chains of fittings on the
carb or fuel pump, Vibration may snap them off some
day, use steel fittings if you can't avoid it.
