Default LT1 header thread size

What size threads are these on the AIR tubes? I bought so 2061 headers, and need to hook up the AIR tubes. It looks like a fine thread.

The '87 stuff won't fit/is different.

My '95 uses an M21 thread for the air injection ports on the headers.
I was struggling to find a fix for this myself, but on another site, someone had suggested using an M21 oil drain plug for it. Or you can find a plug/disc/etc that can block the hole and then cut the old fittings off the air pipes and use those to hold it down.

M21 drain plug? Sounds good. I'll dill out the center and weld a 90* to it.

Thanks a bunch!

The left and right are a different size on a '94 LT1 or is it the tube size that's different?

Good to know! I searched through a bin of fittings for 10 minutes. They didn't end up charging me for them.
