The drain plugs sold by Rock Auto are the right size. I just don't remember what the size is off the top of my head.

They also have assortment of copper gaskets in the Dorman or Help section at chain stores. I found one that's copper with rubber inside for a tight seal around the threads.

Seems like a really crazy thread size.  16.4 x 1.33? Really?

Welll I confirmed that by measuring one. Crazy!  

Interesting that it's really really close to 5/8-20 TPI....

Rock Auto has a pack of 5 for $2.23...
