requesting help - smog pump tube plug

[izzy_Britton]

ok, so after putting new carb on my truck i have no need for the smog pump or the tubes that go to the exhaust manifolds.

each manifold has a single stainless tube screwed into the manifold which is routed by rubber hose to the pump. I was not able to get a wrench to fit into the small space to remove the fitting so i cut the stainless tube and fit a socket on it for removal.

I was able to unscrew the drivers side without issue.

however the passenger side was more difficult and the threads of the fitting stripped off.

does anyone know what size and thread these fittings are? they are not pipe thread. and as it stands now i am stranded at home 15 miles from the nearest auto parts store and i am hoping that i have something to fix it.

is the gaping hole in my exhaust manifold(s) going to cause any harm to engine if i drive it into town and home again? I am pretty stuck and could use some help and good luck.
