Default Oil Level sensor plug

Does anyone know of a plug that can be used to plug off the hole for the oil level switch on a LS1 pan? I put a F body pan on a LS2, and it did not come with a switch, and I can't see buying one since the LS2 does not use the switch and there is no connection for it to the PCM.

John,
check out this link:

http://www.cgenterprises.com/drain_plugs_metric.htm

If it is in fact a 20mm X 1.5, then they have a plug for it, and it is real cheap.
I am going to check the dimensions tonight, and order one if it looks right.

Regards, John McGraw

The plug that I seen There looked to have a taper thread. We will need a straight thread. Thanks John.

I found the plugs at a place called Triad. I am going to pick up mine tomorrow, if any one else wants one I will get them and send it to you. They are about $8.00. Thanks John.

Sorry I went yesterday and picked them up. They only had two. If you can find a Hydralic shop near you, It is a Parker # vsti20x1.5eda3c fitting. If not here is where I got mine Triad 1-937-832-2861 Good Luck John.
