Looks like they are on back order but Courtesy sells this

I "think" it is 1/8 BSP ( British Standard Pipe?)

interesting, i really don't want to T it off at the block, but i think that is what the KA was threaded, 1/8 BSPT. may have to make a run to the local hardware store.

It's 1/8" pipe thread but it's a weird diameter. If you get that part from the parts store, you'll prob have to enlarge the opening with a tap. It's the same pitch and taper, just a weird diameter.

it is 1/8th BSPT

just use a 1/8th NPT tap run it into the block coated with axle grease. then you can put a fitting for a AN line . i just run my autometer sender and tossed the stock unit, its just a dummy light that is nolonger needed.

yeah, i may just put the autometer sending unit in there and just pull the bulb from my cluster

You don't need to pull the bulb from the cluster. Removing the sensor and leaving the plug attached to nothing will leave the light off.

even better, lol
