8x1.0 tapered thread plug needed



Hey All,
In my zeal to rid my GTA block of the foreign material we found inside, i
drilled out nearly every oil galley plug I could find prior to cleaning the
block.  I'm now replacing them, and in particular, am having a hard time
finding what I need for the three plugs that lie along the intake side of
the engine.  These plugs are normally not seen, as they are covered by some
type of factory filler.  They allow access to the oil galleys for mains 1,
3, and 5, running east-west along the engine.

Either way, I think a tapered plug would be the best choice for sealing, vs
a standard set screw.  Ideally the plug will have an internal hex socket.
The thread is 8 x 1.0 and the length need only be ~6mm or shorter.

I've just begun my search, but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
