It's a 3/8 square drive, but chances are it's stuck in there. Pull the temp sender for the gauge, use a pipe thread T and straight nipple and stick both the factory temp sensor and the Jet sensor in there.

Code 26 points to the purge solenoid in the EVAP system. Start by checking fguse #6 (under hood, and verify it is getting power when ignition is ON.
Code 27 points to the EGR solenoid valve control. Again look at fuse #6.
Code 70 points to the AC compressor control relay
Code 77 points to the No 1 fan contrtol relay, again check fuse #6
Code 84 points to the 3-2 control solenoid on transmission
my engine light is not on so i will scan for codes but i believe the only codes that are left are 70,84. the rest have been fixed. i also bought a new egr solenoide and replaced some wires on the evap system.
as for code 70 i will have to wait for my buddy to come with a voltmeter and 84 i think i am very low on tranny fluid because my reverse is very hard to get into i have to push it with some force to get it to slide all the way over.

It should be 3/8 pipe thread for everything. I'll get you pic of how mine is set up so you have an idea what you're looking for.

This is how I have mine set up with the factory temp gauge and my manual temp gauge. Brass T block with the manual gauge sensor coming out the bottom, the factory sensor out the right hand side and short nipple connecting the block to the head.

Now that I look at the picture, I wanna say the block itself is 1/4 NPT with 3/8 to 1/4 NPT adapters to adapt the sensors and to adapt the head.
