Manifold pipe plugs
I have some unwanted holes in my new edelbrock performer. Can anyone tell me what size they are likely to be as I need to order some plugs to blank them off. Also is this a good place to put a temperature switch for my electric fan? Theres a spare hole next to the water outlet that loks like a good location. If so what size/thread is it likely to be, can I put a fan switch in there and what on/off temp do I need?
Oh the PITA of not being able to nip to my local spares place and picjk things like this up.

Re: Manifold pipe plugs
IIRC, 1/2" NPT and 3/8" NPT. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-G1484N/
Sorry, no idea on the electric fans.

Re: Manifold pipe plugs
On the 1/2" NPT holes you can often get away with using a 1/2" BSP plug. It won't likely seal dry, so be sure to use sealant on the threads.
Don't try using a BSP plug in the 3/8" holes. The thread pitch is different and you can bugger up the threads in the manifold. Ray |
