P/N for the rear plugs for heads

[lxsteed]

I know its been posted on here before, but what's the part number for the plugs for the back of the heads when you take the air pump hose of? I think I remember you could get them from Ford.

Thanks

You can buy fittings from any hardware store that fit. Just take the hose with you and match up the fittings. Look in the pipe fittings isle.

you could just use standard spark plugs and knock the tips of them off with a hammer.

Never knew that!

Just knock the porcelin off and plug them with that? hmmm....

Anyone got the exact thread size for these plugs?

If you still have your crossover pipe, probably the easiest fit is to simply cut off the fittings from the pipe. Then turn each one upside down and bolt them back on so the back of the fitting fits over the hole in the head blocking it. If you have the crossover that came off and a hacksaw, it's free.

USE SPARK PLUGS! it's free! (if you have some old ones)

I can get you a pic the spark plugs in the heads if you'd like

ya'll made me go downstairs and take this picture of the cylinder heads

 

[lxsteed]

That works, I still don't understand the turning the crossover pipe backwards and bolting back in, anyone got a picture of that? Maybe I have to pull it out first, then I'll understand it?

 

[Cammed90Notch]

Yes, it should be self-explanatory when you pull those ugly things off the back of your heads

The spark plug thing worked like a charm, was cheap, and took up less room than the flipped pipe, and I'd say the plugs seal better than just a flat surface against the back of the heads

I tried the saprk plug thing and they strip in not thread in, they are a course thread, 5/8-11,, summit has them for 3$ each...

TFS-51400265 is the trick flow part #,you can get them through summit like i said above, after seeing that picture, spark plugs may work on cast heads, but it stripped my alum heads, I had to get the above to make it right..

 

[lxsteed]

So even though its a trick flow part, it'll fit all the ford heads right?

 

[Cammed90Notch]

yeah, TVM has a point about aluminum heads,

w/ cast their find, but if I spent money on aluminum heads, I'd get the right part for them

 

[tvmango]

it should.... are your holes are course tread, and will a spark plug almost screw in (by hand) but not really fit? If so they should fit... Search through some of the old posts in here, I remember seeing the ford part # your talking about,, but is that for cast heads???
