NO NO NO NO!!



I was replacing my coolant sensor connector...only stating I asked for a GM sensor and NAPA was able to pull one.



there is a metric thread and a standard thread...just the metric tap that big is hard to find. (can't remember exact size)

HAHA...ok, I was like for a minute there.



I'll try to swing by a few stores on my way home from work today...

If anyone knows the exact size for the tap, let me know...I'll be checking around

 

eletromotive sells a GM temp sensor with metric threads. Call them for info, no tapping needed!

Air Charge Temperature Sensor



That is what I bought.



Corvette ZR-1 to the rescue!



It looks to be 3/8NPT or maybe even bigger. I will figure it out when I get home...

 

Ok, so that sensor seems to thread into 3/8NPT just fine...



Its definitely much bigger than the stock location and threads.



This is my concern: Is the sensor too long for the runner. I'm visualizing this things to block most of the airflow in the runner.



Somebody tell me that I'm wrong...

Thanks. Yeah, it's definitely 3/8ths.



Did you tap the stock location on the under side of the FD UIM?

I am worried that this sensor would block the airflow in the runner, because it is so big...

i had it on a 3 rotor. i dont have an fd upper to look at either

 

hmm..well I guess I will call Electromotive and find out about theirs.

 

I was directed to Ebay, and the seller name "buyefi". He sells the sensors w/ metric threads.



Now I just need to find out what size thread is on the FD UIM...anyone know?
