Which function has the other screw (plug) in the picture? Can I install the oil temp sensor there?

And which is the correct thread? NPT or BPT? I read often that npt is not the correct thread....

I'm not sure of the purpose of the second plug, but I don't see why you can't install the temp sensor there. I'm also not sure if the thread is the same. For the port I used, the thread is female 3/8 BSPT.

Thanks for your answer. Good to know that this is not NPT.
But I am wondering, that nobody has installed the temp sensor at the second plug yet.
Where do you get the adapter? (3/8 BSPT to 1/8 NPT)

I'm not sure what you may find in Germany, but BSPT is hard to find in American Hardware stores. I found mine at 42 Draft Designs.

@Old Eagle:
You´re right! BSPT is not available in Germany. I will order it at 42 Draft Design.

can anyone help me out with what thread the male end of the ams oil remote pressure sender line is? does it go straight into the oil filter plug or do you need an adaptor from 3/8 BSPT to 1/8 NPT?
