My oil pressure switch, located on top of the rear part of the block, has started leaking oil thru the electrical plug. Since I'm not using it, can anyone tell me what size and thread type plug I can use to plug it? I'm hoping to grab something in town today and repair it this evening and i don't have the jeep with me.

Thanks in advance.

Using the search function... It has been posted a few times as being 16x1.5mm, they also make adapter from 16x1.5mm to 1/8"NPT.

Searching works great..!

I did search, found nothing, but thanks for pointing that out. I guess I'll begin every post with "I've searched and found nothing, here's my question..."

Anyway, thanks for helping me out.

You just need chose your search word better.... "oil pressure threads" worked for my search..

Thanks Sabre. All the parts stores so far don't have a 16x1.5 pipe thread plug, is a drain plug different?

BTW, how are things in Myrtle Beach? Had the time of my life there about 8 years ago.

Order the part on this link and it will have the correct adapter. I used one to move my oil pressure sender to the top of the engine. http://www.autobarn.net/eqoilpreselt.html

Yes, you will be able to use a drain plug if it is the correct thread size.. (you won't need one of those adapters if your just plugging it), just make sure that it seals or using some teflon sealing tape on the plug.
