Fuel system setup

[SnowDrift]

I need to replace my fuel sending unit. Planning to buy one of Leroy's versions - looks like he has 3. High performance with 1/2" pickup tube for $145, stock for $249, and then a different high performance with 1/2" pickup tube for $160

I have his Walbro lift pump now and the stock FFM.

I plan to keep the stock FFM. What are recommendations for which FSU and what to do with filtering, etc.?

I would say choose one of the high performance ones. what is the difference in them? I have heard the metrum rod is the best. at least I think that is what it's called. the 1/2" is cheaper than the stock and will give you room for later upgrades and activities if you so choose later down the road!

All metrum rods. Not sure the difference at the moment.

On sale, about $16. The $145 unit is just the rod. I have that and in my case, made the bouncing needle look more like a pole dancer twitching next to an ATM that only dispensed $1 bills.
I also dislike the fuel levels represented. Too long to explain fully. Just suffice it to say, I have only gone 60 miles when the gauge reads 3/4 remaining and 10 gal. left when the gauge reads empty.

Still, Maybe the full unit will work better...I'm about to give it a shot because I don't trust the quality of any of the OEM-ish products, it's about the same price on sale, and it can't be any worse than what I have now.
