do you want to know the thread size of the AIH or the thread size of the boost fitting?
boost fitting is a 1/8'' NPT.

i read somewhere that you can use a cummins 12v oil drain plug. try a napa or parts store. or blackclouddiesel.com sells the plug already tapped for a boost gauge.

i got mine from BCD shipped to me for 27.00 bucks.
but, you could just pull the stock AIH out and take it too hardware store and put a nut on it too see what size and then just get the correct bolt. but dont forget you will need a phenolic or rubber type flat washer

The plug you need is metric, 22mm.
You can get one at most parts stores for about $8.

You're going to need 1" or 1 1/2" length.

By the time you go thru all that, is it really worth it? 27 is not that bad when the base plug is $8 plus some change.
