Oil pressure gauge/sender help needed

Well, I have had a autometer oil pressure gauge installed in my car, and I am tired of it not being hooked up. I ordered it with an adapter, but it was not the correct size. I checked the performance board for the adaptor size, but as it didnt fit, we can rule out the 900 as a standard. The 99 must have a different size. The car in question is a '78 turbo. Anyway, I can not say for certain if the sender has the right size threads to start with, because it is too large to fit in the space where the original oil press. sender lives. I seem to recall a recent post from DougM about the threads being 1/8" pipe. I am pretty sure the pressure sender from autometer is 1/8" NPT. Anybody have anything to say about this? Should I just go into home depot and buy everything that looks close, or is it time to hit the machine shop? Thanks. Oh yeah, I got the water injection hooked up today. I will post separately.
