Where did you find a reducer that size?

 

i went to home depot with the plug and the temp sender and found what i needed. its a pipe flange to compression fitting adapter (3/4 SAE to 3/4 NPT), then a 3/4 to 1/8 NPT reducer, then the sender.

 

where in home depot did you find that? I tried home depot and lowes and they act like I am retarded for asking for an sae to pipe thread adapter

 

the plumbing section... there is no specific NPT to SAE adapter... but flange end pipe fittings are SAE thread, and compression fittings are NPT thread. or at least the ones i bought are.

 

That is not male pipe flange

It is flare thread

Here is the pic top is plug bottom is adapter 1/2" male flare to 3/8" pipe thread to fit the switch I bought, I actually ground off the nipple on the pipe adapter it is not needed here and gets the temp probe closer to the coolant



Install looks very clean, now onto the injectors

 

Ok, so question. The plug that came out looks to have an obvious taper whereas the 1/2 flare end appears to have no taper. So how is it sealing? Just a lot of tape or thread sealant?

 

I put tape on it and tightened it all the way, no idea on mine till I get the engine fixed, think the original plug just looks tapered in the pic but is not

 

where did you find these?

 

I think this is the nipple. Pardon the crude cell phone edit.

 

adapter was lowes plumbing isle, sensor was ebay 175*-185*


fish yes that is what I ground off, saw no need for it, plus gets the probe in closer


fish think it is all that gunk in the threads making that old plug look tapered
