    Is there anything in the frame at the moment? If so looking at that and measuring it will help. If not you need to work out if it's a British or Italian thread. Measuring the width of the BB shell will give you an idea, British is 68mm and Italian is 70mm as I recall. Italian BB both sides unscrew normally, British BBs have a reverse thread on the non drive side.
    What you need after that depends on the crankset you are using.

    Thanks for the help. I ended up with an Italian dura ace bb that fit my old ulrgra cranks
