May I ask a favor of someone on the '69 TIM&JG team? I have checked several sources but I can't find details on the fuel line and vapor return line clamps used for the '69 model year (specifically Oct '68).
From the AIM, I know these part numbers were used at both the fuel tank and engine ends of the lines:
9770783 - vapor return
3786276 - fuel supply
From Rick Bizzoco's book, I know that the fuel supply line used an olive drab Universal Metal Products clamp with the "D" in a diamond logo.

...and that the vapor return lines used a red/orange clamp - I assume that these were also UMP's with the "D" in a diamond logo.

What I don't know, are the exact size of these clamps. I obtained the pictured clamps at a swap meet. The fuel supply clamps () appear to be 5/8" and the vapor return lines appear to be 11/16". My question is, what does the new TIM&JG say about these clamps? The current TIM&JG only says:

"Single fuel supply lines use four green spring clamps with rectangular ears, two each at the fuel pump and fuel tank. For dual-fuel-line cars, the fuel return hose at both the fuel filter and tank is secured with small tower clamps in 1968 and orange spring clips in 1969."
