blind plugs on the intake adapters splitting

[CatatonicBug]

If you check with your auto parts store for these vac. caps, you will find that some of them have caps that are about as heavy as the originals. Most of what you find are wimpy thin caps. I think it is Echlin that has heavy ones.

+1 on that! The flimsy ones are a waste. Look for the bulky ones.

High temp silicone plugs

I found some high temp silicone plugs at McMaster Carr. The are $4.66 for 25, I will let you know how they work. The part number is 92805K12 if anyone is interested.

Thanks for all your input, I thought the idea of connecting the ports all together very interesting but I think I'm going to try the silicone plugs first.

I was wondering if anyone had a substitute for the blind plugs found on MikesXS. - - -

Hi Meteor,
I just de-vacuumed my Standard tank gas taps and capped the manifold vacuum ports with Mikes plugs.
If they don't stand up over time I will go back to "old faithful", a short length of automotive fuel hose with a ball bearing stuffed up it.

Well I have been using the silicone plugs for two weeks with one 600+ mile trip and no problems. I think I've found the replacement for the rubber plugs and they are less expensive then MikesXS. I just place a nylon cable tie around the bottom of the plug to hold it in place.

Thanks for all your input
