Default Re-assembled but can't find?

All polished and reassmebled. I removed useless parts and can't find anything but a 1/2" pipe cap for the header line going to the smog pump. Any ideas these pipe caps look like $%^#. Hope the photo's show. That's for all the help. Hope to set the TPS and see what I get tomorrow. :cheers: :flag

You want to find something to go into the holes where the pipes came out of the headers?

Get the size, and go to a hardware store and get some plugs to fill the holes. All you'll see is the little plug inside....

I've done it on mid-years, and it works well.

Looks a lot cleaner. :thumbs:

I used a brass pipe plug. I didn't, but you can easily polish the brass. :flag
