AIR tube plugs
(Sorry for the gigantic photos)
I’m installing a used replacement manifold in my ’79. For anyone that’s interested, here’s what happened to the original manifold:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1428841
My original manifold does not have AIR tubes but the replacement manifold did. I have three of the plugs, which appear to be the original fittings filled with brass or some other material. I need a fourth plug. I assume that these fittings are originally part of a complete AIR tube assembly, so I assume that these fittings were converted to plugs after the AIR tubes were removed.
Can I just use an NPT type threaded plug? If so, any idea what size or thread I need? If not, can anyone think of another option?
Thanks,

You can use NPT 1/4" brass plugs available at your local hardware store. I like going to Home Depot for car parts.
