73526, Thread pitch for Oil Sending Unit.....
Posted by Nitrous_RS1997, Apr-25-04 06:24 PM
Anyone knoe what the exact thread-pitch for the oil sending unit on the back of the block is? and also for the oil feed line(STAR kit) where it tees off the sending unit? the "adapter" that STAR sent me way back when was the wrong threads, and we had to make due with brass fittings. im gonna get a new piece machined at my work for it, so it has the CORRECT threads. any help is appreciated.
