Which tap should I buy for tapping air bleeds to accept the screw in air bleeds ?

 What size are your air bleeds now? Size will be equal to tap size.

Ethan1:
 But, probably no bigger than a #10 tap I would imagine.

Marx3:
My air bleeds are .118... That's why I need to install snaller ones. I found a bunch of press-ins and a bunch of screw-ins I had lying around.
I need to know what thread size those screw in air bleeds are?

Frank400:
I've personally reduced .120" air bleeds by tapping them 10-32, then installing new custom air bleeds made out of 10-32 brass set screws.  I've also reduced .120" air bleeds by inserting the factory idle down channel restrictions' "cups" then resizing them to desired size (.070" in my case).
