I had one installed in my 1966 Aztec awhile ago.  My factory fuel flow
gauge had been overhauled several times, never worked, and spewed fuel
down the panel on takeoff once.  I wanted it *gone*.

Getting approval for the Digiflo as primary equipment was the tricky
part.  Fortunately our FSDO understood the advantage of getting some
fuel lines out of the cockpit.

Shadin has some STCs on file.  I think we used one from a Bonanza(?)
with an IO-540 (like mine).  I probably have their fax around here
*somewhere*...

I'd intended to scan my 337.  I haven't done it yet and my logs are at
the shop.  If you think an Aztec installation would help, let me know.

Here's a thread with lots of great information on the subject.
