[DeTomaso] Fuel line fittings

[dennis617 at aol.com]

thanks Chuck, 

But mine looks very different from yours.  I have what appears to be a hard line into a male connection which I assume is a flare but I can't take it out to size it.  When I tried to remove it I started losing all my gas and I don't have a plug for it.  I'm looking to change all my fuel lines over to stainless steel braided Teflon but I can't tell what adapters to purchase to mate up with AN-6 fittings.

Actually I'm still being beat up by this issue.  I've gone thru 3 fuel pumps
(and two carbs) on the girl, and I still think it is a fuel supply
problem...  This might keep me from driving it to Monterey because she has
been a bad girl.

Um details & photos are at:

Some owners have a hard line between the fuel pump and the carb (like common
cars), (Torino was one source example) while I have a standard rubber line.

Here is some text from the page:

The correct fittings (for me are), shown below, front, are 3/8" diameter
(5/8 18) female to male tube 1/2" 20 mating with the tube fitting on the
fuel pump, with a 3/8" IF to 3/8" hose barb connector...
