Re: Sending unit

It depends on what you have now. The sender and the gauge are the same except there are 2 different size fuel outlets on the sending unit. It will depend if they ever installed a V8 sender with the larger fuel outlet or not. I'm thinking a 383 May starve for fuel if it's got the smaller fuel line. Not sure.

You can use any sender. As EARNHARDT#3 said you would want the V-8 sender with the bigger 3/8" supply line.

Re: Sending unit

Thanks guys. Someone along the line must have put the bigger sending unit in because it has the bigger fuel lines and has no problems with it starving for fuel.
