Coolant temp sensor and oil pressure sensor threading size?

Are they in metric, AN or NTP? I'm looking for some t-fittings so I can run aftermarket gauge senders and the factory sensors at the same time.

Who else has after market water temp gauge besides Matt Calder?

Anyone? Where did you put the sender? If it's at the coolent temp sensor, did you have to get a custom t-fitting or adaptor?

It's not NPT... at least for the oil sender... AUTOMETER makes an adaptor 1/8" NPT to MBPT (or something like that.. Metric). I have it at home.. I'll check tonight and post.

I was looking for a T fitting as well but couldn't find the right one. But, since I just put on a S/C, I found a -04AN T'ed to a 1/8" NPT to splice into my S/C oiling line. I had to get an extra 3' -04AN line, though.

NP... double check with the store just in case... I compared it to the part of the T from the S/C kit that fit to the block and they appeared the same... I haven't actually used this part, as it is still sitting on my self.

For the Oil Press. You will need a 4AN T, and a male to female adapter. You will also want to buy stainless steel line kit that Autometer sells and it comes with all the adapters you need for that aspect of the guage sender hookup. If you have any more ?'s post em and I will try to help. Sorry but I don't have a water temp guage so I am useless there.

I think he only wants to T the fitting at the block... so he probably doesn't need -04AN ends... The AUTOMETER electric sender has 1/8" NPT (or 1/4" NPT with the included adaptor) male, which I think is different than the -04AN.
