Ok,

I got the air pump off and the pipe down to the H pipe off. The pipe that runs along the back of the engine and connects the heads to the air pump is held on with a bolt on each sided. So I took it off and I need to know if the holes in the back of the cylinder heads for the air in let are threaded and if so what size plug do I need.

Thanks

You can actually go right to the Ford dealer and get the plugs (I don't know the size off the top of my head).

Would the plugs be the same size for stock 94/95 Cobra heads?

Yes...any 5.0 head setup for emissions should have these same holes.

I did a nice job of rigging mine up, where the tube comes out of the back of the heads I just put the cap to an oil bottle on it! Hey it gets the job done!
