    I have a Elite Engineering Oil Catch can they make them for Corvettes. I got it real cheap but to install it I have to bolt it into a hole in the engine block. So if any one knows what size bolt goes in hole that my finger in pointing to I would be grateful. Thanks advance.

    220....221....whatever it takes.

    Seriously, check out a few Metric sizes.
    On my truck, half of it is SAE; half is Metric.

    Tough to tell from the pic, but it looks like it's about 6mm or 8mm.
    If it's SAE, try 1/4-20, 5/16-18, or 3/8-16.
    All should be available at your local home improvement store for a few cents each.
    Return unused portion to fill your pocket with change.
    :D

    PM Sgt. Stanko. He makes a catch can bracket that I believe threads into that hole too.
