size 1987 N/A
Hi everyone, does anybody know the size of a bolt I can use to block the hole where my Tempature sensor is, I don't want to loose all my coolant while trying to figure out the adapters thingy when I'll be installing an electrical temp gauge.

I'm fairly sure it's not NPT, I think it's British Standard Pipe Thread/Taper same size, but one TPI off I believe it's 27 instead of the 28 on the NPT.

The pipe thread on the temperature sensor can be random at times.
As Nismo said, sometimes it is 1/8" BSPT. Early engines tend to be BSPT.
Later engines are a straight metric pipe thread.
Sometimes it's been hacked up so much it's now 1/8" NPT.
