Oil pressure switch thread size

I'm tired of the factory oil pressure gauge irratic readings. So I'm putting an Autometer oil pressure gauge to in my truck 300 I6. What size pipe thread is the sending unit. 1/4 or 1/8 npt? I want to keep the factory gauge working just for looks. So I'm putting in a "T" for both sending units. The reason I'm asking is that my wifes car won't be here this weekend, so I'll need to drive my truck to get the fittings. It would be nice to know the size, without having to take off the sending unit and replace it to get to the stotre.

1/4 npt. if it is a new guage it should have all the fittings you need for the install.
