Where can I find a 9/16"-18 thread plug?

I'm trying to install my AEM universal fuel pressure regulator and it has an extra inlet port I need to seal up. Where could I find this plug? Is it something I can pick up at Home Depot?

This is all I got from AEM.

There wasn't a big plug for the inlet port. I don't think I even got a plug for the gauge port, but that's no big deal. 1/8 NPT is easy to find.

tony, summit has it. i just put the AEM FPR in and got all the neccesary fittings/couplers/plugs from summit.

here is the plug you will need. its just a -6AN plug. Part# : EAR-581406.

they come in a pack of two, i only used one. i have the extra here if you wanted i could mail it to you. let me know.

the -6AN to 9/16"-18 fitting adapter is for where your hose ends go. do you need the plug or the adapter? the adapter looks like this...

Thanks for the info Paul. I got some questions for you. Did you change the orifice? Which fuel pump are you running? Which fuel rail off fitting are you using?

I ended up ordering Earl's swivel seal hose ends and auto-flex hose. I'm plan on using Econo hose clamps at the fuel rail off fitting barb and the OEM fuel return barb. Kinda ghetto using expensive Earl fittings at the FPR and using econo hose clamp for the barbs.

actually i did change the orifice. i thought it was the fix to a problem i was experiencing. but it turned out to be something else and i left it in. so i have the middle sized orifice in there. it runs perfectly fine, i didnt run it with the smaller orifice so i am not sure of the difference. but the middle one runs perfect.

i am using the walbro GSS342HP fuel pump. and i am using the off fitting from sx7r's site. its like $25.

i havent gotten around to putting the SS line in, i am just using the regular rubber fuel hose for now. since the summit brand was the cheapest for the 90degree -6AN swivels i just picked those up. all in all it looks great and serves its function....
