not too worried about plugg in the intake elbow, as it is getting filled out and retapped for a pipe thread anyhow. and a bung will be made from an s10 spindle nut
well, the one is definately a metric 18mm, i just used an oil dain plg, the other thread in mine is definately 3/4 20 thread. not metric 20 mm, it does screw in a bit, but is not the same,. i measued the hole and the injector, both 3/4 20 tpi thread for sure
thread for injector is 3/4 20, odd ball crap/ so the elbow will be drilled out to accept a 3/4 pipe plug for now. to screw the injector into the pipe, a spindle nut from an s10 is 3/4 20 thread, use that welded into the stack. spark plug is simply an 18mm thread, going to used a cut down non...

Needed a set of batteries fir the m35a2. Figure I'll actually out in the batteries it's supposed to have. Dang they are expensive. Napa, with the discounts, had the best deal. But they said they didn't have them in stock. Only one in Kansas City area, but could get another one brought up from...
