I'm thinking there is an adapter that is basically a male/female pipe nipple that does the trick.
I'm rather thinking that you need an adapter like this one https://www.summitracing.com/parts/atm-2264/overview/
Or this one https://www.classicparts.com/1941-55...ctinfo/24-811/ To connect the stock unit to the later head. Most parts houses have those in stock.
Those bushings have a pipe thread on the outside and a 5/8 thread on the inside with a seat for the flange on the bulb to sit on and be tightened down by the stock size nut.

Interesting, I'm gonna have to do some more checking... i was under the assumption that the head/manifold plug size was the same as the stock gauge senders thread. Hence i couldn't use an adapter... Maybe it fooled me a first glance and one is bigger.
Thank you.
