It seems it is confirmed to be 1/8NPT. Took a shot in the dark and bought an inline sensor housing. Works like a charm, gauge works again!
The housing is 26mm.

All told, cost 13$ for housing and a new sensor.

Pretty fancy for what is basically a hillbilly rig. ;-)

I tried using the thermostat housing but the sensor isnt long enough to make good contact with the coolant. Really isn't anywhere else to put a sensor that's before the radiator to get a good reading.
Carb model; the sensor is in the intake since coolant flows through it but that's long gone =P
