Sorry Sliding if I hijack this thread but I have question.
I have a Superram. mine is a 90
I haven't (it's a 90...) a cold start inj.
I know that peaolple with 88 and earlier have to PLUG a hole in the fuel rail. To make the story short all people with an 88 or earlier have to delete the 9th injector...Right?
Reading a tech article in the Vader's site I read this advise:
"
12. On applications where the cold start solenoid is not used, a block off plug and plate with an O-ring is supplied. This should be installed in the machined hole in the drivers side runner and held in with a runner bolt. "
My question: In this advice we are not speaking of the hole in the front PASENGER side of the intake manifold (the hole of the Sliding question..) AND we are NOT also speaking of the hole to plug for the people with the 9th injector that have to plug a hole in the FUEL RAIL.
Here we are speaking of a hole in the DRIVER side of the RUNNER.
Could someone clarify this?
And what happens if this hole is NOT plugged in a factory car WITHOUT the CSI as mine?
THANKS

Is it held in place betwen the intake manifold and the runner?
Thanks.
COuld someone post a pic of this block?
Thanks again.

The instructios says (for pieple like me with a 90-91) to use a "plug" between the Driver side runner and the base manifold.
..I haven't this plug and i don't knw where find it.

I just bought a cold start plug from The Detail Zone for $8.
www.thedetailzone.com there are other sources as well if you run a search.
Even though I now have the plug, I am half-tempted to just use some Fasteel (steel reinforced epoxy) to make a plug to fill and bond to the hole in the runner. If I ever want to go back to the CSI, this maybe a problem to remove...
On a related note: I have already used some Faststeel on one of my SR runners to build up the gasket sealing surface about 1/8" in the vicinity of the egr ports where the gasket slots tend to be cut too close to the edge of the flange. I have the good gasket with the corrected straight slot length 3/4", but the other one is borderline.
I guess I'll try the plug that I have first and see if it leaks. I will probably also use some yamabond4 for sealant.

It seems that they made a version of runners for with CSI and without CSI
