I think it's 1/4" NPT. Does anyone know for sure?

Actually, they are not... at least on my 97 they're not. The GM IAT sensor that I installed for the MegaSquirt is 3/8" NPT. The stock IAT sensor is smaller than that.

I found a site with a chart here:

My stock IAT stock is 1/4" NPT.

Matt - are you sure that yours is 3/8" NPT?

Yeah, the 3-prong vacuum fitting is 3/8" NPT. I removed it and put my MegaSquirt IAT sensor in there. ;)
