You know, I have a spare oil pan with that sender in it. If you dont let me forget about it, I'll pull it out and see if I can find out what the threads are.

Holy cow dude, I completely forgot about this. I'll go out to the garage right now and see if I can figure it out. I dont have any type of thread pitch tool, but maybe I can mate it up with something I know for fact what the pitch is.

Okay, I checked and while I cannot tell you the specific thread that it is, I can tell you it is the same thread pitch as the transmission cooler line fittings in the radiator (I have a couple spares for some reason). It also matches up as the same thread pitch as one of the bolts from balancer puller.

If I had to guess, maybe a 16 pitch as in 3/8-16, but obviously that is larger diameter than 3/8". The only other thing I can do is take that sensor to the parts store tomorrow and find out what specifically it is using their thread pitch tools.
