Thanks, Bill.  I'm gonna order the -3D fittings throughout ('cause my 
head hurts trying to keep all the permutations of different sizes 
correct 8*).  I was worried about the strength because I've had some -3 
bolts break on me when trying to put nylock nuts on.

For the fuel lines, I'm going with the -6D (3/8) from tank to firewall.
