I am taping my oil pan for my return line and I just wanted check to make sure im purchasing the right tap. I bought a 10 AN line male on both sides and I went to the hydraulic shop and he told me I needed a 7/8 14 ase thread tap I just wanted to make sure this is the right conversion thanks guys.

I do hope you're welding that in and not just tapping and screwin it in...
I'm sorry I can't help you with your question we used a pipe fitting and therefore a pipe thread tap.

I had my aluminum fitting welded into the pan after tapping it. Much better looking and performing, IMO. Find a machine shop that specializes in metal work, or a race fab shop.

I dont see a problem with tapping into an oil pan without welding it, I have seen many like taht without leaking. A few I have seen, which I will probably do, after they threaded the fitting in, they JB welded around the outside of it.
isnt the hahn kit a tap and screw?

Yes it is but it is also pipe threads so they seal themselves.
I used to race cars, now I race myself.

Almost everyone uses pipe threads. I have a 5/8ths 90 degree elbow pipefitting with 1/2 inch line running from the turbo into the 5/8ths fitting.
