When does money outweigh sentimental value? 1968 notchback build thread

did you get the drain plug installed? i have a weld in one i'm thinking of using but it will hang down about an 1/2" so i'm on the fence

This is essentially what I used.
Earls AT581306ERL -6 AN Port Plug with O-Ring Seal, Black, 2 Pc.

I had a flat gasket I used instead of the oring. I did not weld a nut on the inside of the housing. There was enough meat there for me to drill and tap. And I can get full torque with an Allen key and it doesn't leak. And there's no issues when using a jack.
