I took the upper intake off and put a block off plate on the ACV. Doing this you no longer need to plug up anything.

Before I got block off plates I was using rubber feet caps that you can get at any hardware store.

Thanks for the reply guys ! Now, can just that one block off plate be purchased somewhere or does it come with the whole set of block off plates ??? If so, where can I get this blockoff plate from ? Thanks again.

***** man,

You dont need to buy them, actually its just one. You can trace it with paper

or even just eyeball it. Cut it from some .032 aluminum and your in business

you will have to drill 2 holes I believe it was and your good to go. To easy to

have to go and buy it..



Plus I think most companies only make Steel block off plates which you dont want

due to corrosion...
