    Default 2.3t smog pump tubes

    I removed the smog pump and blocked off the small tube that runs to the intake manifold area. There is the metal tube coming from the exhaust manifold, can I just buy a bolt and plug it up?

    Yes, but it can crack to manifold casting, so get a brass one, and apply some kind of pin to lock it. 4 cylinders vibrate, and just a brass plug with some wire tie through it to stop it working loose is my pick. There are historic posts on the manifold cracks.

    Switched to magnetic oil pan drain plugs long ago.
    Found another use for them.
    Plugging EGR holes after removing the tubes.

    Fits the EGR bung fine on a 2.3 Ranger header conversion.
    Fits 79 2.3 turbocharger turbine EGR connection at exhaust crossover (front most) pipe flange.
