I have installed an Advance Adpaters fixed yoke kit on the NP231 in my
'92 YJ.

In the new tailhousing, there is a threaded hole at the end of the part
that the shift rail slides in to. It appears that lubricant will get to
that spot. There wasn;t any sort of plug in the box that would fill the
hole, nor was there any mention of it in the instructions.

I have seen pictures of the kit on some web sites, but none of them show
a threaded hole there. Am I supposed to plug this? If so, where would I
get the proper plug?

Hi Dan,
I've never heard of that, they all cast shut as this:
http://www.4x4wire.com/jeep/reviews/...tcaseafter.jpg Must be a
factory second. I'd give them a call:
http://www.advanceadapters.com/contact.html Or just eat it and find the
plug size and measure the depth to make sure it'll clear, then it's
shifted all they way rearward.

Thanks for the info Bill. I called Advance Adapters, and they told me
that the current version of the kit is supposed to have the threaded
hole there, and that there should have been a plug in the box for it.

Yep. There was a plug on my JB Conversions fixed yoke kit as well. I think
your kit was missing the plug. There's a reason for it...but the reason
escapes me for the moment.
