Default Oil pressure Mxx to 1/8 NPT adapter? Autometer Mechanical gauge.

I am trying to set up my new Autometer gauges and want to tap into the stock Oil pressure sending unit location, but I need a Metric to 1/8 NPT adapter. Does anyone here know what the threads are on the block for this? Or maybe a part number for an adapter? I already found the one for the water temp gauge that goes in the pass side head. Maybe it's the same size? Thanks

The Equus 9848 Oil Pressure and Electronic Temperature Metric Adapter Kit http://www.iequus.com/Product/Search
has fittings that work for the oil pressure gauge and water temp in the passenger head.

Alright thanks for the feedback guys. But I have a new problem. I never even thought twice about the Mechanical temp gauge having a different fitting then an electrical gauge. I wanted liquid filled Mechanical's so I ordered Pro Comps. Now the fitting for the water temp gauge is a 5/8 x 18 UNF and it came with an adapter to go to 1/2" NPT. Now how the hell am I gonna get that to fit in the port on my head??!?!?! The only adapter that autometer offers for this is 5/8" x18 UNF to M16x1.5................. um help?
