thread on camshaft

Hi, what thread is it on the end of a cam ? thanks

I just measured it about two weeks ago, I may have to make a custom nut for a jackshaft made from a Mini cam for a K series conversion. I was checking that I had the tooling and could cut inside threads of that pitch on my lathe. But my notes are not here at home, they are on my desk in the shop, if no one else answers I will post it tomorrow when I go to the shop.

oops. I need glasses. The line on the UNEF chart which I marked up is the 13/16-20 line. Sorry for the earlier typo.

A search turns up this size nut has been used on lawnmowers, Toro and Lawn Boy over here, Hayter over there.
