Default Thermactor plugs

Im intalling the twisted wedge heads on my new 306 and am confused about the inserts that came with the heads. In the instructions it says to put them in the back where the smog pump tubing would go, what about the front holes? Looks like the stock ones have the same inert in the front..

Hmm... Well I can't say I've seen that before. Plug it, I guess. Maybe the front one is an accessory bracket hole with the back punched out by accident?

i had to use the ones they supplied in the front, since there threaded on the inside then the accessory bolts threaded into those. I ran to the parts store and bought new bolts for the rear to plug the smog stuff.

yes they use the same on front and back. the fronts are accessory reducers, and the rear are plugs

i cant remember the correct part number, but they should be $5/pair, not $10 each like trick flow sells
