    Temp Sender Hex?

    3/8 NPT of course tapers, so the major diameter the thread is going to depend on where you measure it. The taper is .75" per foot, so if the thread is an inch long it would be .6125" or so at the tip, which is getting close to the mystery thread measurement. Yours Vern

    New Project, 1966 2000 TC
