Pair Valve removal

[OB_Cycle Stuff]

What is everyone using to block off the vacuum cap on the manifold and the airbox with? I know about the 4 little block off plates but does someone carry more plates for those items. I was ask to post this and yes I know the pair valve has been discussed a lot of times.

Hi Chuck,

I ordered 2 of those small OEM plugs as used on the middle 2 TB's with spring clip as well (2 because of both PAIR and flapper actuation vacuum hoses being removed).

For the larger hole on the right rear of the airbox I used some sealant just to fill the hole on the inside first (keeping entrance on inside of airbox blocked) and then put same large OEM see-through plug and spring clip on it as on left rear of airbox for drain hole.

Hope this helps, of course there's a million other ways to do this.

Pep Boys has a little pack of plugs made by Help!, JohnnyCheese includes them w/ his plates, $20.

what is the advantage of blocking off those holes?

[OB_Animal]

No advantage at all, but required to prevent problems WHEN you wanna remove all PAIR related paraphernalia.

Vacuum-connection on TB#4 (going to pair valve) needs to be CLOSED of course and same goes for fresh air supply for pair from right rear bottom of airbox, that's all.

Yes I include the vacuum plug for the air spigot and a plug for the air box.
