What size sender do I need on a 2000 7.4L MPI? 1/8", 1/4" or 3/8"?

I have decided to mount it at the filter bracket instead of at the pan. I can do it myself and I will not miss any time in the water. The mexhanics in this area usually run 7-10 days just to take a look at anything.

I have decided to move remove the depth finder and replace it with the oil temp gauge. I'll leave extra wire in case I want to shift things around at a latter date and add the depth finder back in.

One easy way to confirm the size is to pick up a pipe plug of each size at any hardware store...for maybe $2 you will know exactly what to order.
