A drilled cup plug certainly works, but a screw-in part makes more sense to me if the size is still to be worked out.

Same reason it's a better idea to have replaceable screw-in carburetor jets than a fixed-size metering plate that you have to plug and/or re-drill every time you need to make a change. Surprised you even asked...

the nice thing about using a 1/8 npt female hex pipe plug, is the case hole size is perfect as is. just needs tapped for the plug.

I'm surprised you are trying to make that particular connection.

I do my share of carb tuning. And have done my share of this with the trannies. I don't see the association you are trying to make between the two, but if you somehow see some kind of advantage to tapping the case, more power to ya.

Good luck.

The advantage of a threaded socket-head plug to a cupped plug is ease of removal. If you need to experiment with different sized orifices, the advantage of a plug that can simply be unscrewed will be apparent.

To remove the plug I simply screw a sheet metal screw in it and pull it with a claw hammer. Not everyone has taps, but most people have a claw hammer. Either way gets the job done.

How about this; if you have the tap, then tap it. If not, use the plug?
