I rather doubt they would be BSP as that is 0.383 diameter, just a touch over 3/8”. 1/4” BSF is 26tpi and quite likely was used before the motor industry moved to UNF and UNC.

Definitely 28 tpi, so probably Dad was wrong and they would be 1/4 UNF like the Unified threads use elsewhere in the engine.
