Oil pan baffle

I am looking at purchasing an oil baffle plate for my 79 with a 13b 4 port n/a engine. I had a couple questions before I purchase one. I tried searching but couldn’t find a straight answer.

Is there a baffle that’s better than the others? I’ve looked at the ones from Racing Beat, Atkins, and LRB speed.

Should I get one made for a 2nd gen or one made for a gslse. My engine is an S5 turbo with an FB front cover and gslse oil pan.

Thanks for the help!

They're going to work the same way.
Atkins sells Racing Beat's parts. LRB's looks the same with rotor shaped holes.

I'm pretty sure you should use the one for the GSL-SE pan. The 2nd gen engines mount through the pan and that has a different bolt pattern.
