Oil pressure Mxx to 1/8 NPT adapter? Autometer Mechanical gauge.

I am trying to set up my new Autometer gauges on my LS1 and want to tap into the stock Oil pressure sending unit location, but I need a Metric to 1/8 NPT adapter. Does anyone here know what the threads are on the block for this? Or maybe a part number for an adapter? I already found the one for the water temp gauge that goes in the pass side head. Maybe it's the same size? Thanks

-Sean

Any local hardware store will have brass metric to NPT adapters in the plumbing section - I used them for my fuel line to NPT barb fittings. "Ace is the place!"
