oil sending unit mod
Posted: Sun Aug 04, 2013 11:16 am
I'm installing a 3tc/t50 in a 61 Sunbeam Alpine. A problem I ran into is finding a fitting to replace the oil sending unit. The Alpine has a direct line oil pressure gauge.
I took the sending unit to several auto & hardware stores to be told the threads are m10 - 1, 1/8 npt, and 1/8 mnpt. Tried all & none work, They only go in 1/2 of one turn & tighten. The sending unit goes in about 4 turns easily before tightening, so the block threads aren't cross threaded.
Anyone know the thread size or fitting to replace the sending unit
