Thanks, for taking the time to answer my questions. I will just use an adapter with the bolt part cut off to make a sleeve.

Hey LSMCSS

If I send you my stock sender would you mind cutting mine down too?

1972 GMC Sierra Grande
Supercharger equipt 4.8L LY2 (truck LS)

I want to use the hole on the passenger side. What would you charge me ?

The easy way to hook a coolant sensor to a gauge is to use a 98 Camaro Firebird coolant temp sensor. It has a separate output for the gauge and the PCM. No adapters, cutting, etc.

LSIMCSS,

Do you single point the threads, or do you simply use a die?

I don't do them anymore. My lathe is down and there isn't enough money in this to justify buying a new one.

Does this sender have the same ohm resistance as the original monte carlo gbody sender?

I believe it is the same. I am running autometer gauges on my car. I did put in the temp sensor in the rear of the passenger head with an adapter but never hooked it up. I just hooked up the original wiring and the gauge works fine. On one of I believe the stickies for the some of the original swap info they list a set of adapters to convert metric to English threads for sensors. The kit cost about $10 and came with about 4-5 adapters. I used one for the coolant temp and one for the oil pressure. I am only running the autometer pressure sensor since I ended up breaking off the original sensor behind the intake manifold.

OK this in the LSx swap guides stickie for the 67-69 Camaro specific thread. If you do a search for the Equus #9848 adapter kit it has all you need to adapt your sensors.

No cutting threading, etc involved. This comes with about 5 adapters and is a lot easier.

I'm aware this is an old thead but, I wanted to post what I did incase some else comes across it in the future, just like I did a couple of days ago. I turn down a 1/2" pipe sender to 12mx1.25. There is just enough meat on the sender to do it and I mean just enough.
I went through the hassle of doing this rather than replacing the gauge because my build is a 62 corvette resto and I wanted to keep the original gauges.
