Hey, so I ordered the water jacket cover from GMPartsDirect, and I have a AutoMeter gauge I was going to hook onto it. Before I got into tearing into the engine compartment side of things, I tried to dry-fit the sending unit, the adapter, and the plate. However, the jacket seems to be narrowed or mushroomed a bit in the threads well short of the adapter bottoming out going in to it. Should this not happen, or should the adapter probably not go clean through the threads? I can try to get some pics later if this is confusing, but I just want to make sure I got a good part, and that I get my sending unit far enough into the hole in the cover. I'm at work now though, so can't do any photography at the moment. I've emailed GM Parts Direct but I don't really expect them to have a lot of experience with the application of this particular part.
