I don't have the thread size handy, but it is not a 1/2" NPT. It is a metric thread, but you can get an adapter to plug in an NPT fitting.

I'll check with someone I know and try to get the right size and some info on the adapter...

Thank you both for responding. I want to add a Autometer Oil pressure gage. I plan on adding a T and keeping the original sending unit. I would agree that it is MM.

Oil pressure sending unit is on driver side of engine, top, back of the intake manifold, next to the firewall.

Sense my cars been in the body shop for "58 Days", I do not know how easy it is to get at. It is tight back there.
