LMC Fuel Related Parts Purchase Help

[Luke87gt]

Hi all, I'm getting ready to purchase several fuel related items from LMC and could use a bit of help (I called them and asked these questions but they couldn't offer any help other than reading to me what is on their web-site).

I will be buying a replacement gas tank. They have two options:

32-5922 Gas Tank-20 Gallon without EEC "A", Chevy GMC 67-72, $184.75
"A" For models with fuel injection return line.

32-5952 Gas TANK-20 GAL Without EEC "B", CHEVY GMC 67-72, $164.95
"B" For models without fuel injection return line.

I was ready to order "B" as my truck is a stock '69. I didn't realize there is an option "A" with a return line port on the tank itself. I thought that in the case of a return, the return typically would run through the sending unit, not the tank itself. However, I may do an LS swap at some point in the future. I guess I have two options:

a.) get the replacement tank without the return. If I ever do an ls swap I'd get a sending unit that has two ports.

b.) get the replacement tank with return. For now I can cap that return port on the tank and if I ever do ls swap, the return port will already be on the tank.

Wondering if anyone can advise?


Secondly, I'm also planning on getting a sending unit. My truck is an i6 1bbl (I'll use this engine for now) but I also have a shiny new 350 sitting in the garage that will get swapped at some point. LMC offers the following sending units:

32-4020 Sending Unit-w/2bbl "C", Chevy GMC 67-71, $37.95
32-4022 Sending Unit-w/4bbl "C", Chevy GMC 67-71,$37.95

Which one do I need given I need it to work with both my current i6 and future 350 4bbl that will get swapped in at some point? Again, LMC wasn't much help.

Thank you,

Luke

Wait, did the 350 2bbl come with 5/16” lines like the i6?

That's what I was thinking - that the different LMC sending units are for fuel line size (assuming LMC is correct on SBC 2bbl using 5/16" lines). I don't think you could go wrong with a 4bbl sending unit and a tank set up for EEC, just in case you need the extra port for a return in the future.
