Started to install the temperature sender in my newly installed engine and it just falls into the hole. My block is a 5 freeze plug model but the numbers just below the cylinder head are gone and have 225 030 stamped there. The normal location for the sender appears to be 1/4 npt threads. Is there a sender that will fit those threads? What are my options here? Just a quick google search turns up a classic instruments SN23 with the correct threads.
Thanks,
Brad

You could just use a npt to npt adapter...……….

Yep just use a hardware store adapter / pipe thread reducer collar.

I knew some of you would know. I had it in my head that the sender was some odd kind of thread. I walked down the street to Car Quest and got the bushing I needed. Problem solved.
Thanks guys.

You are lucky you have the large hole already. I drill/tap all of mine early heads out now so I can use different sensors as I wish. Hardware store will fix you up, as others have said.
