Water Temp Gauge Question
Water Temp Gauge Question
Does anyone know the thread size on the exhaust side of the block for the coolant drain plug? The reason I'm asking is I would like to install my temperature sensor for aftermarket gauges there. If anyone has a link to a part number or any insight that would be great. My greatest fear is that its a 3/8 BSPT size because those adapters are hard to find.

I can tell you I haven't found anything that is NPT on our motors. I tried a 3/8 NPT plug in the heater core outlet on the passenger side of the block and it only makes it about 1 full thread around.
I bet you it is 3/8 BSPT :/

McMaster Carr sells a 3/8" BSPT male to -6AN male adapter. It's between $6-7. I bought one to use on my breather separator box to replace my PCV valve.

Oil pressure sensor port on the intake side of the block is 1/8" BSPT, probably a good assumption.
