Group 26 is the size. Look out, some have a big flange on the bottom for
some cockamamie bottom-based hold-down system -- if you get one of these
you'll have to saw it off. Definitely get one with a handle or strap so you
can easily get it back out -- they fit a little snug.
Sears Gold fit fine. My new Kragen's one had a flange which I eliminated --
30 seconds with a hacksaw.
