Dont' even bother with that. I hacksawed the heating element off of the inside and reinstalled the base as a plug. Still there today.

I'm almost certain it's the same as the oil pan drain plug on a 2000 dodge with the Cummins, Its like 22mm or something. I called around once and found I could only get it at the dealer. Come to find out I don't have a AIH Early 99.

Or you could order it online with the ability to tap it for boost. I Can't find the link to the site.

It is a 22mm drain plug. most auto part stores have them. follow Rons link to my earlier post and you can drill and tap the plug for a boost reference point.
