It should have come with instructions as to which one to use too.

The Melling I bought came with 1 black, and 1 green ring.
I used the green (larger) one with success, even though a blue one (smaller than the green) would have worked.
The black one has the smallest girth to it, if I remember correctly.

Use the one that fits good. Not too hard to figure out. I'd trust my own judgment with fitment of the parts in my hands before I trusted someone on the internet.

Well both fit, which is why I was stumped ended up talking to my engine builder Thompson motorsports and they use the green so that's the plan!
