so i switched to true duals on an 85.
put a BBK H pipe on with no issues other than the 02 sensor holes.
since its a carbed motor, no need for the sensors.
what is needed to plug the holes?

I just used some hex head brass plugs. Been so many years ago, I don't remember where I got them.

Get yourself an afr gauge and use one of those holes! I love having one in my car. I think it was 140 and included the wide range sensor. Great for trouble shooting, and in your case tuning the carb.

The hex brass plugs always rattled in my car. Made me think a actual plug would need to be tapered like a NPT plug or something
