Removing air pump what to do with empty holes in headers
I'm goining to install some edlebrock headers and at the same time I'm goining to do away with the air pump system. What is the best method of capping the holes left on the headers?
I've read were some people have just welded them up. Thats not an option for me because I don't want to permantly screw things up.
I would like to just screw on some caps. or put a temp sending unit in it place.

Put a plug in them. You have to figure out the I.D. of the AIR tube orfices. My FLP's were 3/4 -13" I believe & I made them at work. If you look at my pics in the sig you will see them. Or you can go to the hardware store & find something also. Use some High temp sealant too..

That's provided that the Dynomax use the fittings that go to the '95 exhaust manifold. For example my FLP's for my '95 used AIR fittings from a '96-'97. Those are smaller. That size is 3/4 X 16. M18 will work but they are a little sloppy in the thread. I don't want to give you the wrong info. Aren't Dynomax the same as FLP?

My FLP's were 3/4-16" as you stated too.
