[Spridgets] oil pan bolt size

Unfortunately UNF and UNC are in fact American threads, invented by the  
Americans.  We switched to UNF and UNC during WWII as part of war  standardisation 
or whatever and began to abandon the Whitworth system from that  point 
onwards.  Later we abandoned UNF and UNC for the Metric system.

ASME  definition is irrelevant as it is a UNC thread. It is British car,  why
would it have American machine screws (or American bolts)  ?
