thanks to everyone that replied, it seems the match is a GM unit.  So far it
matches the 87 Fiero and 91 V6 syclone.

Again thanks to everyone that have replied (too many to answer back
individually), I can see I have a lot of work to do.

Good to see someone else working on a Fiat.  Double flare is making the little
lump on the end of the fuel line.  A normal flare gives you a funnel shaped end,
a double flare brings the flared out part back in again to produce a little lump
(or ring) around the pipe.
