Here is a photo of the adapter that was in my engine block. If you
measure it with a micrometer, it measures a little bit larger than
1/2".<br>

a line from the sending unit one time and to "get by"
for a few weeks used a 1/4 NPT plug from Home Depot.
Screwed in perfectly with no leaks. When I put in a
replacement sending unit it threaded in easily with no
leaks. So, I assume the threads were not damaged in
any way by the NPT 1/4" plug. Thus, I never saw any
evidence that it wasn't 1/4". Mark L<br>

fitting that goes into the block is 1/4"
good old American standard pipe thread.
Hope you don't have a problem because I
think the fitting should have come out
fairly easily. Mark L<br clear="none">

It turns out Summit had the right adapter for

I also found another problem - the oil line
