I found an aluminum adapter to go from the Metric Gm thread to NPT, just gotta run a BSPT (Toyota sender thread) tap through it or just jam the Toyota sender in it, NPT and BSPT are only 1 TPI apart

They have one you can use for the stock Toyota water temp sensor too if you like. There’s a open port on the passenger head close to the firewall (heads are modular) most people use.

I just turn the Toyota water temp sender down to the smaller thread size, it’s pretty easy and free if you have the right die. I don’t use adapters if I can avoid it, I just don’t like look of them.
I have that $10 amazon adapter, I still need to install it though, my Toyota sender is currently tapped into the 2-bolt plate on the pan but it’s very close to exhaust and the wire is long and awkward

How does it attached? I’m venting the hood on mine. Only due to the Cummins intake horn touching the hood.

Wonder if it would interfere with the windshield folded down.
I know this is a older post, but I will reply anyway. I have put R134 refrigerant in a number of R12 vehicles that weren't cooling well and needed some more freon. R134 worked fine in every R12 vehicle I put it in. There are valve adapters sold at your local auto parts store so you can use the new type charge kit on the old system. The longest I ran R134 in a R12 car was 4 years in Okinawa, using the air daily. Can't say how long it will last, but It has worked well for me in the past. I''m sure you can over analyze the science/engineering aspects of the refrigerants and compatability, but trial and error will likely be more efficient. Good luck!

I have a BJ74 w/3B and a RHD 13bt BJ73 in the shop... I can take measurements if you want. Running an H55 or going to a GM transmission?

That is great. Yes, planning on keeping the H55; however, my understanding is that I will need to move the transmission forward several inches for the LS to fit. Also, i have the VM 2.5 engine in it, so not sure what the frame mounts look like.
