Tool question?

Im ready to install my new guages, but the tools needed for the pyro and boost calls for NPT tap and die set. Whats the difference between NC and NPT tap and die? Will the nc work?

NPT is pipe threads. You will need a 1/4 NPT for the exhaust thermocouple, and a 1/8 NPT for the boost tube. May cost you $15 at the most.

Just remember you DON'T run a pipe tap ALL THE WAY THROUGH when you use it. You only go 3 rounds I think it is - just go at it conservatively. If you thread it all the way through, the threads will be WAY oversized.........

Thanks for the help. Had to go to a special tool shop. The local OSH and Home cheepo did not carry NPT.
