Default temp sensor needed

I have Lt1 service replacement heads on my car (PN12480092) and cannot find the correct temp. sensor. Everyone I find has a 1/2" or 5/8" thread (never took the time to measure). My head has a 3/8" hole. Any suggestions on the correct part # or where to find it. paceparts and year one are zero help.

You can get an Autometer sensor from Summit.

I went to Murray's Auto Parts and told the guy what I was looking for. He pulled a bunch of applications and eventually found one that would work. Are you looking for a LT-1 (70's) or LT1 (90's) sensor ?
