Not near my Deuce right now, but I think it's 1/8" NPT.
Here's some pipe fitting info.

If "A" measures .405" it's 1/8" NPT, 27 TPI, hole drill size is 11/32" (.3438")
If "A" measures .540" it's 1/4" NPT, 18 TPI, hole drill size is 7/16" (.4375")
If "A" measures .675" it's 3/8" NPT, 18 TPI, hole drill size is 37/64" (.5781")
If "A" measures .840" it's 1/2" NPT, 14 TPI, hole drill size is 23/32" (.7188")

Of course it's best to use the correct tapered pipe reamer to ream the hole since pipe threads are tapered.

Ok, a pic might help.
If it's #24 in this figure, it's a standard NPT thread pipe plug.
TM 9-2320-361-24P, fig. 27

NSN is 4730-00-018-9566, which crosses to MS21336-2, which is a 1/8", 27 TPI pipe plug.
So, if not that than please post a pic. of the location of your plug.Capture.JPG
