Cal 9.2 stuffing box, what size stuffing to use?

The stuffing box has finaly runout of adjustment and I'm on the verge of changing out the packing. What size and how many rings are required?? I'm leaning towards using the GFO material and I believe that I need to use 1/4" packing due to the 1" shaft. Please review and advise...
