does anyone know what the thread size is for hte oil pressure sensor on the back of a b series block, is it 1/4 or 3/8 " its not metric right??

just looking to bid on a t fitting that says its 1/4".

im gonna use common sense and geuss the thread is a really fine pitch too right??

also anybody ever use those golden eagle vacuum manifolds with the 6 ports on them?? it sounds to be helpful but didnt know if anybody could give any feedback on how well they operate or if they are accurate to mani. vacuum. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

block is 1/8" BSPT.

DO NOT try to use an NPT fitting on it, or you'll fubar you're block. you need a bspt to npt adapater.

thanx B, yeah i think i might give it a shot, its only like 30 bucks on ebay and if keeps everything organized then its a good investement.

ok thats mad cheap for hte adapter. noob question for ya, i know PT stands for pipe thread, but what does the "N" and "BS" stand for, just out of curiosity!

thanx again!

NPT = National Pipe Tapered
NPS = National Pipe Straight

BSPT = British Standard Pipe Tapered
