hi everyone
thanks in advance for any help you might offer.
i bought a new mechanical oil pressure guage (AutoMeter) because my original 
guage was giving some funny readings.  i removed the original sender from the 
block, and attempted to insert the adapter (1/8 NPT female to 1/8 BPST male).  
i cannot thread the adapter into the block.  at all.  it won't even start.  the 
1/8 NPT compression fitting that would go into the adapter won't go into the  
block either.  the original sender unit screws in by finger strength, no 
problem.  i cannot tell by holding them together, whether the threads on the 
original sender are closer to the 1/8 NPT or 1/8 BPST, they are that close.
any ideas?
thanks again
