"Plug hole"

And no - I ain't goin' there

From Autometer:

Look at the drivers side of the engine block, from underneath the
vehicle. Below the last freeze plug there will be a threaded in
adapter.

If it requires an allen wrench to remove, it is then a standard
3/8"NPT

If it requires a box end wrench or socket to remove, it is then a 16mm
x1.5 thread size and if you are installing an electric gauge, you may
use an Autometer #2268 adapter.
