  I can second (or third/fourth/fifth) that. I don't recall if it
was a B&M or generic Summit version, but I used 2 of 'em in the Cuda,
to give me an oil temp and tranny temp bung. (The drain plug is 1/8 NPT
so fortunately its easy to screw a temp sender in there.) No leaks and
they have worked great for me. As Ray said, you basically just
drill a hole and bolt the plug in place, with a couple of nylon washers
sandwiched between the pan and the plug.
