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)

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

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...
