Default IAT for vortech elbow
I bought a vortech elbow and I have the push in style IAT. The only threaded sensors that I'm finding are in 3/8" NPT, what I need is 1/4"NPT. Does anybody have a part number?

if your sensor is fairly new you can file down the ribs and thread it.

i know.
per vortechs instructions that's how you do it. mine shattered because it was old and brittle. the new one threaded just fine.

thank you very much, I don't know why I didn't think to check the instructions on the internet. I'll get right on that.
