Does anybody know the thread for the temperature sensor for the Sprint?

Hi Graham, My original Smiths one is 0.614 O.D. 18 tpi with a 0.707 hex.
Which looks like 5/8 -18 U.N.F. thread and an 18mm hex (!)
Tony.

I agree with that, I bought 5/8 UNF tap to clean the thread out on my 1850 inlet manifold after the old sender unit seized in there.
