Hi, am just about to order some gauges from Mark (Big Mark) and before I order the gauges I need to tell him the thread size on the oil pressure sender of my car. He mentioned there are a few different ones, some metric others American sized. I thought they would be in Metric since our cars are European.

My car is a 1.7L 4 cylinder engine bored out to 2.2L with twin dell carbs. It has no aftermarket gauges for oil temp, pressure or anything other than the stock gas gauge, tach and speedo

I am away from my car for the next two weeks so don't have access to it and hoping to get my order on the way as soon as possible. Does anybody know the correct thread size please? Is it M10 or 1/8 or another size. I always thought they would be the same honestly have no idea.

Any help would be great, even better if so with pictures (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thank you

The taco plate is the plate on the bottom of the engine that holds the temp sender in the case. It replaces the circular plate adjacent to the sump plate.
