...not real sure but, you might try the parts section here on this site. Or try parts for sale. I'm sure one of those might have what you need. Or have you tried your local scrap yard? good luck.

I would lead to the second one . But it depened on what you have for a motor.
305,350,454 all = 3 out lets C/K 81-86
K10 K15 262, / C/K 20,25 292 all = 3 out lets 85-86

left or right units you will have to know what you have in yours. "style wise"

You can't beat that! I think I spent nearly $100 ea for factory GM nearly 15 years ago.

Regardless, advice to anyone. Never use diesel senders for a gas. The center pipe on gas is 5/16 for vent on 8600+ GVW or to charcoal can on smaller trucks. Either way, end of pipe is above fuel level, in vapor area. On a diesel, the center pipe is also 5/16 but the pipe goes to the bottom of the tank for water drains. It is possible to suck fuel into the charcoal can or dump gas out the vents on big trucks when running diesel senders on gas trucks.
