The fitting you called the spacer is the one that goes in the head casting NPT hole. It is not a kit, I was just lucky enough to have it all intact that way in my motor when I took it apart.
I suspect that that part is available through Max Merritt as they have warehouses full of used parts.
To be honest, I had to use a sealant when I reassembled it, I found if I torqued the fitting into the head to get a good seal it collapsed the ID enough the sensor would not slide in properly.
I have attached a highly cropped image that results in a bit of a blurry shot but it gives you the general idea.

Bob J, exactly as I anticipated it should look. The only difference is that my square headed nut was directly into the head. Where did you get the spacer or was that part of the bulb/gauge kit? Thx, Tad
