UNF into steel/ cast iron UNC into ally, Reasonably good rule - Apart from the head studs and thermostat studs? I think they're the only exceptions however? Actually - Isn't the speedo-drive retaining bolt some wierd thread aswell? On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

Both the rocker post studs and the ol filter holder are UNC, and I do think that the fuel pump is as well? However, a good rule is UNF in iron/steel and UNC in aluminium. BIR1 was full of 8mm though. Shame on you Mark!!

The SPi blocks were a metric size weren't they - worth checking? I'm pretty sure that they are still imperial, but a different size / thread to the older blocks. I had fun trying to find an adaptor to put an oil cooler on my original engine, in the end good old Think Autos helped me out. Joey, What could you possibly want to know all these thread sizes for? If I wasn't a noisy busybody I'd say you were making some custom adaptors. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

1 1/4" seems to ring a bell but don't take that as correct without checking.
