It's tapered. Just clean around your pressure switch, yank it out, and screw it into the adapter to test. If it doesn't go more than a half turn, it's NPT.


If you haven't ever done this, don't go all hamfisted when you're screwing the pressure switch back into the timing cover. Just go a smidge more than finger tight, and start the engine. If it weeps, clean it and go a little more. You may be surprised with how little torque is required. Don't worry about the connector until after you're satisfied with the tightness.
