Default Fuel pressure sender to fuel rail fitting?

What is the thread size of the fuel rail where the schrader valve is? Looks like -4AN, can anyone confirm this? I need to get a fitting to attach the fuel pressure sending unit to the fuel rail.

There is a plastic cap that screws onto the fuel rail over the schrader valve. I believe it's threaded to -4AN, at least it was on my Z28. The schrader valve inside can be removed easily so you can get a pressure reading.

Here is a thread I made 7 years ago, but it was for my Z28, which I'm guessing is the same thread, but different location, as my '01 Silverado:

Metco makes the adapter, but putting two together is cheaper.
