water pump question

So I want to remove my heater core and all the heating components and heater core coolant lines. I can buy a plug at advance to plug the coolant line running from the intake manifold but my question is how do I plug the port on the water pump?

Re: water pump question

I would buy a reducing nipple and connect the heater core hoses together.

Re: water pump question

I'd rather have the hoses eliminated completely...

Re: water pump question

I recently did this. I went to Ace hardware (any hardware store) and bought two 3/8" MIP plugs and installed them in both the intake and water pump with teflon tape

Re: water pump question

The water pump has internal threads to thread a plug into? I thought it was just a barb on the end?
