does the fitting look like 1/8 pipe thread? it's probably 1/8 BSP Honda uses that a lot if it's female threads in the block you need a 1/8 bsp male to 1/8 NPT female, You can get these at a lot of industrial supply places such as MSC the aftermarket gauge and fittings will all be NPT threads

which fitting are we talking about? and what year etc is this? if it's where the original sender screwed into the engine I can almost guarantee it's 1/8 BSP, nearly every Honda uses this for the oil pressure warning sender

This should be what you need, if you are changing the factory warning light sender to a gauge, this cahnges the BSP threads in the block to NPT which is pretty much standard for all aftermarket gauges
