SuperRam Distributor Plug Leak
Anyone else have an issue with their distributor block out plug on the superram intake manifold leaking?
Anyone know where to get a new plug?

distributor block-out plug?
I have a superram and have had the displeasure of installing it multiple times and I have not heard of what you're describing. Are you running a distributor-less setup? Or are we just fumbling over a description of some common part?
You're not talking about the C-shaped clamp that holds the distributor in place, are you?

My intake has a "block out" plug on the rear of the intake - where the distributor would go on a normal small block 350... Since I'm using the stock LT1 distributor on the front of the engine, there is no distributor at this location...
Does anyone else have this on thier Superram, or do I have some weird freak of nature intake?

Oh, OK..............it would've helped to know you have an LT motor 
.
I think I may have a blockoff plate for that application in my parts closet...........I'll check a bit later on and if I do, you're more than welcome to it

at the very least, you could probably just fab one using some plate steel or aluminum - cut out a rough circle and smooth off the edges. Use a stock chevy 350 distributor hold-down (a c-shaped thing that bolts into the manifold) and some ultrablack sealant?
I fabbed my own EGR block off plates in under an hour using scrap I had in the garage...
And I don't think I'd use thos expander plugs - if they wiggle out or you don't do it right, they'll plop right down ontop of the cam and wedge who knows where. So use something big enough to NOT pass through the dist. hole.
