Default What size plug to close off EGR hole in header?

I'm in a rush, the plug I had there somehow vibrated loose and popped off somewhere. I have looked everywhere and noe of the pipe plugs I can find are the right size so what size do I need? I have heard of people using oild drain plugs for this but I' still need a size. Help ASAP!

Also, just for reference, the M22 is the drain plug for a Dodge Ram equipped with a 5.9 liter Cummins diesel.
