I recently removed the heater/AC box from under the dash. Where can I get some rubber plugs or something to block off the ports on the waterpump?
Waterpump block off kit?

I looped a short section of heater hose from the pump to the intake. You can barely make it out in this pic:

I tapped the inside of the water pump nipple for 1/4" pipe thread then put in a flush allen wrench plug in it. On the intake I took out the nipple and put in a plug.

Allen here as well. Or the 'help' section at your local parts place will have little nipple caps you hold down with a clamp (check out the heater core, there is a pair of them on there..)

That's exactly what I mean. You get looks every so often by people until they see the plug inside.

I like that ram air set up. Do you have any data on increased or decreased performance? The rubber caps are a good tempory fix for the pump nipple. However, I used one for mine & less than 500 miles it is badly weather cracked. I think I'll put a plug in it. A buddy warned me about the rubber caps, but what does he know. LOLGoodysGotaCuda said:

Haha, well i actually did run the caps for a few hundred miles with no issues. In vegas where its mighty dry. Anyway the plug method is better regardless. As far as the ram air, the butt dyno noticed a difference. Nothing major, but my best time was 14.0 in vegas...i was looking for 1/10th somewhere. Never did get a chance to go back to the track with it. $15 wortha junkyard parts including the air cleaner, no holes cut, i like it!! It seemed to change around 30mph or so and in high rpm.
