Re: Temp sensors and LS swaps
No personal experience with them. They're supposed to be exact duplicates of the originals.
You may be able to drill and tap one of the LS heads for the nailhead sensor. That's an adventure I'll leave to you to decide.
Put a thread gauge on a nailhead sensor. I believe its 1/2" NPT which is 14tpi according to Machinery's Handbook... darn handy tome to have in the shop or your office bookcase.
It wouldn't shock me to find that GM used a proprietary thread pitch... not unheard of to have parts store specs be incorrect either.
