Y-Blockhead,
Help me understand, pipe threads are tapered threads? Is that right?
I am new to all this.
The inspection plug I removed was non-tapered and ALL the suppliers sell only non-tapered plugs.

In this "new car to me" and my first Model A, the
drain plug I removed is tapered. See last photos, the plug tapers in the calipers.
So, what do I do?
The only replacements are non-tapered. Do I reuse the old drain plug because it is tapered.
And, since the old
inspection plug is now welded onto a piece of square bar, I have to replace it. All the replacements are cylindrical, non-tapered.
But, it looks like the plug I removed was non-tapered, but it is so short, I cannot be certain.
