See, there are no rules to afro-engineering, which is what the whole removal of the smog pump is.

The write-up on allfordmustangs.com is incorrect. I have appealed the the site mods to fix it, and they basically told me to get bent.

Would you like me to post the picture of the TFS thermactor plugs? The ones that have the bag that even says 5/8-11"?

That's what I used to plug my holes.

By any chance are you an engineer?

LOL.... I'm both laughing and crying. Ya see, I am an engineer. And a OEM automotive engineer with 10+yrs drivetrain experience to boot. But on the other hand... adder is simply arrogant. He is right.. but arrogant about it.

Hey if it works... "get er done" I say.

Should you develop what sounds like an exhaust leak. Now you'll know what is a possible cause.

On my heads, the threaded holes were very plugged up with carbon and with so little room between them and the firewall I choose to just make some block off plates out of 1/8th steel, high temp rtv, and used the same threaded holes that the stock crossover tube used. (same as capri debris)
Its working fine as is. And one day when I pull the heads for porting / rebuilding I'll put the proper plugs in.
