Where the heck are you guys finding the little plastic plugs like the one used to plug the black plastic air distribution runner? I went to Autozone, Advance and Harbor Freight and found nothing. Plenty of vacuum caps, which would work for the dipstick tube, but that isn't going to work to plug the hole. Frankly, I'm tired of running all over town...

If you go through the subsequent posts by the O.P. (BavarianE39), he now uses that port that he used to plug it up.
It is better that way as crank case blow-by vapor is sucked into BOTH ports.

So, see my photos above and buy the copper "Tee" as mentioned.
Plus you need a short section of 5/8" or 3/4" hose.
See the photos in Post #164 above.

Other than those caps, what else have people been using to close off the intake port? I'm going to be doing the pcv mod this coming week.

Also, this is my first post never here. Hi all!!
