I went to Napa the other day and bought both of the 3/8 taps they had. THey had a 3/8 x 16 and a 24. Now I see that I need a 3/8 x 18...any ideas where I can pick this thing up locally? THis sux...basically we have to stop the install before we start...

As said above you need a 3/8 NPT tap (3/8 pipe thread), Vortech listed the tap size incorrectly in the manual I believe.

I'm actually down in Jackson right now Bob. The vortech manual calls for a 3/8"-16 NPT tap and that's what I currently have in hand. Please tell me this is the right tap...

Finally got the right tap at a local hardware shop. First 4 places didn't carry it, thankfully we got it. $11 for the tap and $5 for the punch. HOPEFULLY everything will go smoothly from here on out without any rediculous snags.
