5/16 would be standard .....some of our HiPo buddies are changing to 3/8 but you must run new fuel lines to take advantage

Don't forget the fuel seperator if you run 3/8's!  :grinyes:

Is that only in '70-'71?  :clueless:

Hey guys thanks for the reply,I'll go with the 5/16. I ground the wire at the sender unit and the dash gauge went full, so either a bad float or sender. Thanks again Tom
