A letter R or a 21/64 drill bit with a 1/8" NPT
Should get it done.

Got it yesterday and I will be attempting it this afternoon. Cool looking little vent!

I build my road race toploaders like that. 1/8" npt to AN adapter, and run a hose up a little higher than the trans.
Look about halfway down the page in this article and you'll see one that I did.

I see you put it exactly where I was going to put it. I was a little concerned about the parting line in the case, but I guess it does not matter.
Awesome article too, I read it twice.
Thanks

Very cool and different! What did you use for the vent cap and how did you crimp it?

I have one question,. While cleaning the gasket surfaces, I noticed a plug with a Phillips head. It wasn't tight so i took it out to clean it and re-install with thread locker. I discovered a spring underneath this thing and maybe it is loose by design. Decided to ask the experts before doing something stupid. So, what is this thing for and what is the procedure for correctly installing it

Nasty cover! Looks like I will be putting some elbow grease to this thing before sealing it up forever

That screw holds a spring that keeps pressure on the shifter detents. If it's a fairly new trans and the screw is flush or a little under the gasket surface, then you'll be fine.
