I am trying to figure out the RIGHT adapter I need for putting my old Oil Pressure sensor on my new block. The adapter I bought from speedway motors isnt even close to being right. Anyone have a reference to the correct one or know the thread sizes?

18mm male and 1/8 NPT? Little bitty fitting for the OP gauge, right? If not then you have the one that is 3/8" NPT. Is it too small for your sender?

My adapter is to small on both ends. The end that screws into the block is to small, and the hole that the sensor screws in is to small. so the sensor wont screw into it.Originally Posted by RedHeartbeat

This is what it says on Speedway motors... 12mm-1.5 Male to 1/8" Female. You obviously have the 3/8" fitting. You could swing by you local hardware store and screw it into a threaded pipe to verify size. 12mm is way too small.

And the stud on the sensor is a big guy. looks like its 3/8.

it is a 16mm male and whatever size sensor you have, maybe 1/4" but likely 3/8" NPT.

if it's 3/8 on the end it's probably a 1/4" NPT. Go verify size before ordering another one.
