I replaced mine with a brass one. Plastic seems cheap to me, and stainless?? I guess between the two I would go stainless. I don't think size matters as long as it floats the sender itself does all the work.

The 5/16" vs 3/8" is the fuel outlet size. If keeping stock or stock'ish, stay with 5/16". Use 3/8" if you plan any performance upgrades. Then replace the line up to the engine with 3/8" also.

Whew....the description on the summit site is horrible. (and I also just turned 50!)
Duh, I checked on the Scott Drake site and it's a lot more clear- 5/16 (or 3/8) stainless stainless steel tube, brass float (or plastic). Thank you Patrick!! appreciate the teamwork everyone!

For what it is worth... my brass float cracked and filled with gas. I took it out and soldered it up. Worked fine until I sold the car to Kenny and he put a new tank in. Given a choice I would go with a plastic one.

It's worth $11! (I'll take it.) I was just looking for the right reason not to spend it on the metal one...plastic has come a long way since '61 and nobody will see it. Thanks Jeff!
