Starting Point-- Oil Pressure Sending unit BSPT not NPT? 1973 FJ F Motor (1 Viewer)

[ETX FJ40]

Going to be starting Diagnostics on the F motor this weekend (hopefully).

Found Red Line Cruisers youtube channel and watched the "How To Save an F-Series Toyota" Video

In that video it is claimed that the oil pressure sending unit is 1/8 BSPT (British Pipe) and not 1/8th NPT.

I would like to start here to see I will need to get into the lower part of this engine (83,000 mi on the odo before is stopped working).

Can anyone confirm the pipe thread type ?

Thanks guys

Can anyone confirm the pipe thread type ?

Yup! Like all the tapered pipe threads on the engine. BSPT.

And if you plan on going with an after market mechanical gauge, you'll most likely need the 1/8 BSPT male x 1/8 NPT female adapter. "THIS"
