Plugging o2 header bung?
Tried the search to no avail. I am looking to plug the o2 bung on my EM headers. These are the standard headers 1 3/4. Do any of you know the size plug needed for this? Thank you in advance.

The weld in bung / plug kit that Summit Racing offers says "18 mm x 1.5", give that a shot

Go to a parts store and get an 18mm replacement oil plug, same thread pitch. Also an 18mm spark plug such as many older cars used will fit too. I'm thinking that's not what you had in mind though.

I'll bet it's the rears that have been deleted. There are two on a '96.
