if it is the same as the water temp sensor, then I can measure it (I reckon it is 1/4 NPTF).

Water temp senders are usually 1/8npt on ford engines.

Remember with NPT threads the OD of the thread has nowt to do with the stated size of the thread. A 1/8" NPT thread actually measures 13/32" (0.405" OD) a 1/4" NPT thread measures 35/64" (0.540" ). Its related to the bore size of the pipe the thread was originally designed to be cut on.
