Re: Restoring Rusty
FORUMnians let me take you to the College of NPT Knowlege, for those of you uninitiated NPT stands for National Pipe Thread, or as I like to call it Eh Close Enuff thread size, for instance believe it or not the sizes of the temperature sending units below are 1/8", 3/8" and 1/2" in NPT lingo, and not that at all in the real world, but that's par for the course, their accompanying adapters, reducers as they are sometimes called, or even shims I placed next to them so you can see how we can take the 1/8" thingmajig and make it fit into the 70's heads or the 90's heads
word on the street is that when you buy a universal gauge these days it comes with a sending unit in a size of 1/8" and places like Summit know that you need 3/8" so they throw in the 1/2" adapter for FREE, LOL, others like Autometer (pronounces: OVERPRICED) will give you a couple adapters like the 3/8" and 1/2", guilt I think, guilt makes them throw those in, ha ha
