Coolant temp gauge issue.

My tools got stolen before I moved and I'm still slowly working on getting over it. Bills are a little more important than tools. But anyway I got it off only to find out the new sending unit has different threads. :-(

Sorry to hear that. I know how hard times are, and priorities.

As for the sending unit and the threads, you have several options. If possible, tap the main orifice to the sending units' thread pitch. This might not be possible if there isn't enough meat on the female side.
Option 2;
You'll have to get several temperature sensor adaptors. One for the female orifice and then one for the sending unit. The adapters need to have the same thread pitch when they join in the middle.
