Message: <blockquote data-quote="ttocs" data-source="post: 925444" data-attributes="member: 11896">well funny you should mention that quote from earlier.  I had everything I needed in 3/8" npt ready with teflon tape this afternoon when I removed the factory sender.  I was suprised(well a little but not really) when I compaired the factory sender to the parts I bough, the 3/8" parts were all too big.  I had saved all the packages(which were resealable) and the receipt so I ran back to ace and exchanged everything for 1/4" npt, with 1/4" - 1/8" reducers and it fit perfect.   I am always one size too big it seems(THATS WHAT SHE SAID!). Since the sender is covered up I can't tell if its the same threads as the oil pressure sender or if they are smaller.  Now after getting a little acquainted with the npt crap I have learned that THOSE LITTLE FREAKIN FRACTIONS MATTER!  If my 5th grade teacher had told me I needed to know them for cars I would have paid attention so I blame Sr Angela personally....</blockquote>
