Internal oil galley plug missing

I just finished rebuilding my 351m to 400. stared the engine and had 0 oil pressure. after poking around I found I left out the oil galley plug that is just above the distributor gear inside the engine

Now I can't find the old one and I cant find one to fit it. Does anyone know what size that silly thing is? Thanks

its not a pipe thread it is actually a regular thread, and has a taper on the end that seals up against the surface inside the block, best idea is to pull the other one, and take it to your machine shop, and see if he has any laying around from working on them. My machine shop has a box he throughs these kinda things into when he strips a block for cleaning, and since most soft plug kits come with the oil gallery plugs he doesn't reuse them, and even had several new ones in there, so your machine shop may do the same thing.
