It is by engine case, the site says:
We ship the 3/4" (GB 215B) pickup tube that fits 1970-on German, Mexican and some 1993-on Brazilian cases unless you specify differently. I did not specify, so I got that one and it worked on my 1st generation new aluminum case fine.

I run this one:

Some of the empi ones I looked at were junk (buyer beware)
It has never hit anything.

The '68 Bus of mine is homemade camper, a one of a

kind which is cool but it is much heavier than let's say a
Westy.  It has been suggested to me to perhaps add a
deep oil sump, with the idea being that more oil will help
the engine that will be working hard moving such a heavy
beast stay cooler. Do you think it is a good idea?


When talking to my local parts guy he wanted to make

sure that I am aware that the deep oil sump adds up to 2
3/4" to the bottom of the engine.  There are some
choices that are thinner but then hold less extra oil.
Should I be worried about extending the engine closer to the
ground? I don't imagine doing any crazy off roading
adventures with this Bus, it is currently in
not-so-great-a-shape so it is odd just imagining it moving
at all.
