Temp sender thread size in ' 61 FORD 2000 Head ?

Posted by Jim in NY on October 27, 2007 at 09:29:31 from (206.15.138.245):

Any one of you gents actually run into a thread size problem in the head where theOEM gauge bulb sender nut (the one that slides on the capillary tubing) is the same size as the head tap and the bushing that is supplied with a new replacement is toooo large ? The sliding nut is some special thread (anyone know what it is called) and for some reason the head is taped the same (no, there is no bushing or other fitting behind it on the tractor lol)...Another thought and question: is there any smaller type bulb that goes into some of the other brands of tractor ii.e. IH/Oliver that has a very small diameter buld that I may be able to use in it's place? The main problem/soluton as I see it for now is that if I can obtain a much smaller bulb tube then I can modify the old sliding nut to fit somehow and then have a tight seal? Any one have any thoughts on this ? Thanks for now ---JIM
