Having some time on my hands while in Florida I restarted my Arduino projects. I need to tap into the oil sender switch connection with a nipple / tee so I can add a pressure sensor. What I was able to find on the internet was the model number of the switch, 1A024-39010.
I haven't been able to find the thread spec. When I 1st started this project I went through the same exercise. That was almost 2 years ago . . . I'm sure I found it then but just can't remember.

Anyone?

This is from a L2501, but they are very similar to our 32/3800s, uses same switch…

(I couldn’t get the model in the screen shot, but it’s for a L2501)

I suspect it would be BSP though not NPT.
hmmm now that you mention it that lit up a neuron. I think I may have picked up one in my 1st go round. Question now is where is it. There are still boxes of parts n 'stuff' that haven't been unpacked.
TY

GOOD ONE! (Has 1/8 BSPT male and also a femaie…as well as two 1/8 NPT female outlets.)
iirc when I got it in I checked out the fitment and those side connectors can't be used without moving out the fitting with a nipple & coupling. Once Fordtech86 mentioned BSP the brain started waking up. I'll probably end up buying it again as there is little chance I'll be able to find mine. Will give a look when we get back to CT in March.
