Default Thread size for oil outlet (96 Cobra) *Pics inside*

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm planning on installing an electric oil pressure gauge (since the stock gauge sucks haha). I'm planning on using the oil outlet pictured below, which is right beside the oil filter. I was wondering if anyone knew the thread size of that plug? I found an install on a 2000 V6, and the thread size was 1/2" NPT. I was unsure if it would be the same size on my motor. Any help will be appreciated.

It looks like 1/2" or maybe 3/8", but would be easy to remove it and check. I would not expece much oil when removed, so just make sure you DON'T start your motor when it is out. Take it to the hardware store and ask them to check.
