Intake Pipe Plugs

Does anyone know what size pipe plugs are needed on a Eddy 2171 intake to plug the Thermactor hole and one of the vacuum holes? I am assuming they are NPT?


What material is best to use in an aluminium intake? Steel, brass, bronze? I am assuming stainless or galvanized shouldn't be used?

The size was covered in this thread.

As for material, Dad's truck had a galvanized plug in it for years. So I don't know that it matters.

Thanks for the info, looks like the big hole is a 3/4" NPT plug then. I think the small ones are 3/8" NPT.
