Threaded plug size?

My 1952 has a 302 from a 1990 Lincoln. Does anybody know the size of the plug that screws into the hole at the back of the heads to seal up the EGR holes?

For future reference you can buy 5/8-11 x 3/4 course thread set screws with an allen head at a hardware store / Lowes / Home Depot for about 75¢ each that fit. Also, before you try to install them, you will need to clean the carbon out of the threads or you will not be able get the new screws in, best thing to use is a 5/8 x 11 tap.
