It's just the diameter that ford held tight. You can buy taps that are correct to match the ford thread spec, but a general purpose one bought willy nilly will probably not be to that tighter spec. Someone did post the correct spec once on this forum but I can't remember who it was or the title of the thread.
I use a set of blue point thread chasers. They have proved invaluable over the years.

Thank you for the clarification.
Agreed on the thread chasers. I got mine from Sears, but they are made by Apex. My friend is a Snap On dealer and he confirmed they are the same as Snap On/Blue Point, just a different sticker on the plastic case. Exactly the same.
