Of course without knowing which "units" you are talking about.
The ones that I have are 1/4" pipe and fit the 1/4" pipe thread in the block.

Both of those hole in the back of the block are 1/4 pipe, you can ardapt any thing you want in them. Usually the oil sender unit goes into one of the holes. Walt

Kpar, take note that is 1/4 NPT, not BSP as is the Ozzie standard.

Thanks all, I now know why some of my brass fittings wouldn't screw in.
