[Gmecm] In-line fuel pumps with TBI

[Charles McDowell]

Thanks for the replies.  I think my problem was failure to understand that
an AN won't mate properly with a fitting intended to take a flare, even
though the shape looks similar.  I found a barb to 3/8" flare adapter at a
local specialty hose/connector shop.  Must be too unusual to stock at the
auto parts store.

Teflon tape on pipe thread only...or liquid teflon (more is not better) from
Loctite. Don't use teflon or sealants on flare, inverted or other type
fittings.
