Post by Dearg1275 »

What is the thread in the block of the oil pressure warning switch or gauge take off?

1/8" NPT.

The Blocks that were destined for cars that had a gauge, have a parallel thread and spot facing for sealing on a copper washer, all others have a tapered thread.

That’s great. I hadn’t realised about the taper tread for the non gauge cars.
