caszboy Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 OK, i have a set of autometer gauges and mounted them and looking good but the thread pattern for the stock ones i guess is metric? while the autometer gauge is standard. i am going to a plumbing shop monday to get adapters but i NEED to know the thread size for the stock oil pressure and water temperature senders. thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 For water temp you are going to have to tell us the year and make of your Z. The early Z's use a really odd sensor. Oil pressure is actually 1/8 - 28 British pipe thread. Note this is not NPT, but BSP. The two are actually close enough that you can thread one into the other. But to do it right here is an adapter kit that has the proper adapters http://www.autobarn.net/eqoilpreselt.html Sunpro sells a similar adapter kit.

Tony D Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Water Temperature Sender is a straight thread. I want to say an M10 or M12. I know when I tapped my manifold for one, I had the tap in my Craftsman kit, and it was not a tapered pipe thread, just a standard metric straight thread.

Pop N Wood Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 This is what you need http://www.sunpro.com/product_detail.php?pid=16339 Summitracing carries them, as do dozens of other mail order places. I think it is actually the M16 thread on the Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
