Hello, I've searched quite a bit and I'm just trying to confirm.

I have a 1989 EA82 with turbo that i'm adding gauges to, and I'm trying to figure out what the thread size of the sender is.

 

It appears that it's 1/8NPT x 27 on the oil pump, but i want to confirm that this is true.

 

PS if anybody is interested in these I can get them to you at about $60 a pop.

It's metric.  It's very close to 1/8" NPT, but it is not, it won't seal.  I have adapters from Amsoil, but don't know the metric dimensions.

It is 1/8" BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) - if you are talking about the idiot light switch. The analog gauge sender I don't remember off the top of my head.

I have the digital dash, so no analog sender, i'm just looking to attach a VDO gauge . What's the best spot in the opinion of you experts? ]

 

in all honesty, i plan on swapping the motor next year so it really is just for giggles right now, although the gauges will obviously stay.

I didn't even think of it being British pipe. That's a surprise!

 

That's where I'd connect a gauge. The analog sender port is a lot bigger, don't know what those threads are.
