I know those things are a pain to cap off, especially if the plug/cap crumbles or pops off. It's almost impossible to get another one back on. I removed all hoses so there were only the steel nipples sticking out of the aluminum intake. I then bent/squashed them, and then welded a bead across them. Works great! Or you can drill them out, tap the holes, and then screw plugs in them. My $.02 before I head back to work.1995240sxSE wrote:
