Sending Unit question (68 C20)

Short background, my rebuilt quadrajet for the second time now, began dumping fuel all over the intake (infamous stuck float and/or needle). This time I decided to pull the in-carb fuel filter and it was full of 'fibers' and crud.
My initial thought was confirmed as soon as I pulled the sending unit out. the 'sock/filter' was gone, and pieces were in the tank. The (original in-cab) tank itself was amazingly clean.
My truck is an original 68 396 (C20), so it has the 5/16 fuel line and I ordered a replacement sending unit accordingly. I fit right in and line connections were fine.
THEN, I overlooked the wire connection and the photos below show the story.

SO. If anyone has ordered a replacement (5/16 line) sending unit that does have the correct thread/nut wire connection. Where did you source it? (I ordered mine (incorrect connection) through Tamraz).

Also, where are folks sourcing the sock/filter (again, for 5/16" line)?.
My sending unit seemed to work 'OK' so I may opt to just replace the sock if readily available.


Original thread/nut connection:



Replacement 'stud/post' style connection:



Thanks,

Kevin
