LSV back of head HEX PLUG THREAD PITCH to -6an SIZE NEED ASAP! HELP

Hi i have a used Golden eagle OIL line kit that DID NOT include the back of the head HEX replaced adapter to -6
On golden eagle it says

Quote:

- 3/4" Boss to AN-6 fitting

on ebay which is what i bought
theres generic oil line kits that says i need

Quote:

3/8 npt (national pipe thread) to -6 AN (this will be the fitting that goes into the back of the
cylinder head and connects to the oil feed line.)

then someone said 3/8 BSPT NOT npt which is it?

They were incorrect... it is NPT. I personally think that -6 is oversized, but if that is what you want to use, it will work. Keep an eye on your oil level.
