Help:

Hi Everyone
Not really new here just had to change everything due to an opps on my part.
I need to know what to use to plug the air pump ports on my 88 302 after
changing it to carberator from EFI??? stud,plug like a freeze plug??? ect.
I kind of forgot about it when I installed the engine & now I can't see anything to tell whats needed.

Thanks much for any help

I'm assuming you mean the ports in the rear of the heads?
If that's what you mean here's a suggestion: Cut the ends off of the old manifold that connected the two ports, weld the holes shut and bolt them on. I don't think those ports have threads in them so plugging them with a bolt or stud would be out and trying to pound a plug in there would be pretty tough.
Hope this helps.
