Default Fuel pump outlead thread size?

Okay, what size is the outlet of the 90* brass fitting that comes off the fuel pump on my 72 L-48? I read it was 3/8", but I bought an Aeroquip 3/8" NPT to -8 adapter and it's too big for the fitting. Help?

I need to know the same thing. Actually, I also need to know the thread size for the male end that screws into the pump itself. Anyone know these?
