What sending unit do I order? the SPECTRA Fuel Sender with the 3/8" Outlet w/ Fuel Return? or the SPECTRA Fuel Sender with the 5/16" Outlet? this is for a vanilla '69 383 RR. Thanks

Better to confirm now then when in the tank full of gas. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
