that was quite awhile ago. i dont have a picture of it.

basicly just cut the little tubes right below the big tube. smash, bend, smash. and then put them back in.

oh and you will be reminded that you did them that way every time you cut your finger on one

My '86 does, flip the hood and its all there just minus belt. It would have the belt on it but it just back fires like crazy with my holy exhaust so i took it off.

I just went to the local parts store (Oriellys) and brought the air injection rail with me and told them I needed plugs to match. Took about 10 sec to find them, and they had a bunch in stock. They are brass and i think they were like $1.29 apiece or something. Looks much better

Do you have the part number and a picture?
Thanks,
Dan

I could use that part number and pic also if you have it?

I don't have the part number on me but I kept one of the packages for this reason. I'll get it on here in the morning

You are the Man lol Thanks, also I replied to you on your myspace let me know Thanks again later T

Ok I've got the part number for the brass plugs that I bought. 209400 is the number on the bag. Hope that helps

EDELMAN - HEX PLUG (1/4" NPT)
Item No: 209400
$1.69 Each

So here is what th O'reilly website say. This is actually "NPT" a pipe thread for plumbing. Not the same as the as the 14mmx1.25 (same as some spark plugs) holes in the head. maybe the brass is soft enough that it can cross thread in the holes. I would check with some soapy water to make sure you have a good seal. thanks for the help

those are the ones. I put several layers of teflon tape on them, bolted them in and no leaks.

Dont know if teflon would be a good idea or serve much of a purpose.


If there are any small gaps over time they will seal up with carbon anyway.

I didn't figure it would do a whole lot, but I had it at the house and figured it wouldn't hurt anything, so.....

The oil drain plugs from mid 80's Jeep Cherokees are just right.

If they are 14 x 1.25 metric, then along the lines of what Ripper86 said I looked on the Internets and found this

http://www.sherco-auto.com/drainlpluggasket.htm

They have several choices in that thread size, cross referenced by make and model so you could probably order them if you wanted them.

If they're some kind of metric tapered pipe then maybe the other methods of sealing are better. I've never tried.

Along these lines, remove the AIR pump check valve and replace with a pipe cap. That is just standard pipe thread. Then you've sealed it with a minimum of effort. Leaving the check valve there could draw air, I don't know if that's bad or not.

I bought what I though would fit. Wrong. They were too small. I gooped them up Quik-Metal and they are fine.
