Agree with big job. Figure out your "thread" mystery with a thread gauge...very handy tool to have for lots of reasons, and plug that bung. Then go with the sensor probe stick that can come with the thermo fan kit...eg. Hayden. This gives you the flexibility to place it at the best place in the radiator core.

Also agree with the toggle switch override. Have experienced a couple of thermo switch failures...and mine always failed in the "off" position!
