Posted March 25, 20205 yr comment_595359 I am in the middle of a special project on a 75 280z, part of which is a new vintage dash with retrofitting a set of Speedhut gauges. I need to find out the type and thread size of the temperature gauge sender port on the thermostat housing. The adapter in the kit is NPT thread, diameter is close but just slightly too big. Does anyone know is the port is metric or BPT? The oil sender is BPT and I re-tapped it for NPT for the new sender, it was only 1 thread off, 27 vs 28. This is the only adapter Speedhut has that appears to be close... Any ideas or insight most welcome...

March 25, 20205 yr comment_595363 I believe it's the same as the 240Z. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/63746-thermostat-housing-gauge-port-thread-size/#findComment-595363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
