intake coolant plug size
Anyone know what the thread size and pitch is of the coolant plug on the lower front part of the intake manifold?
I want to add a coolant temp gauge. VDO offers a wide selection of different sized sensors and I would like to order one that will just screw in without having to re-thread or tap anything.
95 D1, Thanks

For future reference, in case someone else searches...
In a PDF download for VDO sensors, there is a 250 degree 3/4-16NF temp sensor listed... but, it's marked as being phased out. Searching on line, that sensor is still available, but it's fifty dollars. How long they can still be found is anyone's guess.
I've never had a VDO temperature sensor fail... but I would sure hate to have one fail and find there is no replacement to be found.
IMHO, best bet, if you plan on keeping your truck, just drill and tap the stock coolant plug. A 1/8-27NPT sensor is twelve dollars and easy to locate.
I already had a VDO gauge, so I never bothered to check other manufactures of aftermarket gauges. There may well be another senor by someone else that will fit the existing hole size.
