Hooking up gauges, what size adapter

Does anyone know what size adapter I need to hook up my engine temp sensor to a set of 5.3 heads? Is it a 10mm or 12mm to 1/8" npt?

I "think" it's 12MM, but don't bet the farm on it. I could be wrong.

We always drill and tap the top of the water pump. The sender can then be screwed directly in and it will be more accurate.
