    Autometer temp gauge question/problem

    Ok, I have searched hi and lo and cannot find the answer I'm looking for. I have a late model with one threaded sensor hole. I bought an autometer temp gauge and the fitting is obviously the wrong size to fit my thermostat housing. I went to King Bolt and even they couldn't find the proper adapter. Does anyone know where I can find the adapter to thread into my thermostat housing? I'm not going to tap into any of the hoses and I know this mod has been done. All of the posts stop short of explaining what adapter will fit. The one adapter I did find was too small to slide over the autometer probe. Thanks for any guidance.
    Rob.

                              Its either an M12 or M14, I think its M14. Measure your OEM sender.
