Oil galley plug - threaded? If so, it should be either a 3/8" NPT or 1/2" NPT pipe plug - you can get those at the hardware store. Get the one with a square drive recess, and get brass if you can (it doesn't rust out, and will be easier to remove later if necessary.)

I'd assume the oil freeze plug on the back of the cam shaft.

take a measurement of it, go in to advanced auto, bumper to bumper, etc. and get one that is the same diameter. you may have to trim it down so it doesn't sit in so deep, but you will be able to find one that fits.
