Default Oil Press Gauge install, what size is fitting in back of block ????

I have an ls1 swap and dont use the factory oil pressure sender on back of block behind intake.

Does anyone know the size of the fitting that goes in the back so i can get a fitting to mount my mechanical autometer oil pressure gauge.

It should be 16mm X 1.5, its one of those weird thread pitches. The only thing I could find was a plug, so I just had that plug tapped for NPT so it'll work with almost all of the aftermarket gauges.

Autometer has the adapter to fit that point its autometer part number 2268.

Also, I am using a mechanical and the stock oil pressure gauge. At the bottom drivers side of the block there is allen headed plug that if removed you can use that same adapter in. Thus providing both electric and mechanical.
