I am looking to fit a mechanical temperature gauge in a 1939 Tudor with a 59A motor.
Can any one tell me what size / thread the bush is that the sender unit screws into and what size the thread into the head is. Also where I could possibly buy one. Thanks.

John Wolf & Co in OH and ThirdGen Auto in TN has those. Southside Obsolete in MN might also. Head thread is 1/4 NPT, gauge nut for the bulb is 5/8 X 18.Here is a link to one that sold recently.
