I just gave one of these away yesterday. You need the same tap for the intake on a PI intake swap. I bought it from McMaster-Carr part # was 2525A114 but check to make sure it is the same. But whatever you need they will have it. www.mcmaster.com

So.. punching the hole in to the oil pan prevents metal pieces from reaching the oil, then you tap it and push all the pieces in to the oil anyway? Never understood that.. maybe somebody can fill me in.

some people put thick grease on the tap but if your down there and drained the oil anyway...just take it off and do it. Thats what i'd do. Well actually i;d buy a Canton pan with baffles and a plug already welded in.
