X2 here...Cut the bead off the end of the tube, use a Parker or Swagelock compression fitting to male AN adapter for the give OD of the steel line coming off the sending unit. The supply tube should be 3/8" od and the return should be 5/16" od.

3/8" Tube: Swagelock fitting:

Hope this helps you find what you need. If you have a Parker Store, they can get you what you need too.

What brand of sending unit is that? My spectra one had metric o ring fittings on it. The barbed style of this one makes me wonder if its a carbureted one...?

I got this from classic parts #23-546 "gas tank sending unit W/FI, 87-91" is what it reads on the box.

Can you tell me what size the fittings are on the sender? I want to order the connections from Summit.

I believe its M16x1.5 but I'll double check

Supply is a 16mmx1.5 and the return is a 14x1.5. Earls part #s are in the pics...

old thread I know. but this is the setup I want to run, and I had a few questions. I see the 87 sender has 4 ports. one is pressure, one is return from the corvette regulator/filter. what are the other two for? I ask because instead of running a second complete tank/sender/pump, My thought was to simply (or not so simply) run a small transfer pump from the old talk to the new tank using one of those ports on the new sender. does anyone see a problem with doing this? I have twin tanks now, and originally I wanted to run two complete setups with new tanks, senders, and walbro 255's, but I was thinking this might work too, and cheaper.

second question, how does the walbro 255 hook up in the sender, anyone have a photo?

again, sorry to bump a year old thread. but since this had the info I needed, it seemed fitting.
