The smog pump was deleted from my car before I got it. How should I take care of the line that ran to it. It's just a giant hose with a huge bolt in it..

Does it look similar to this:


If so, then that goes to the back of the heads. Which you will need to take off and screw in 2 5/8" about 3/4" long bolts.. I heard its a pan in the arse to do from the top... Its easier to do it from the bottom of the car.. I just put that bolt in that hose for a "temp" fix. Until I take my heads off..

If it looks like King Kaos pic its a crossover pipe...Its a PITA but you and get a wrench behind the head and unbolt the driver and passenger bolt. i think its 1/2" size. Then you can take 2 old spark plugs and smash the porcelain off them. Screw the remaining threaded plug into the hole.

Easier way is just plugging the hose like kaos shows. But for inspection purposes that method is an easy visual inspection fail.

Once you get them off, cut the tube off the piece that goes into the heads, flip them over and to the other head so the solid side of the fitting is on the head, bolt it back on and viola!!

a cap on mine seems to work. the bolt on the driver side is a pita to get at. i couldnt imagine trying to get one on. i'm waiting until the heads are replaced also. good ol sunshine state with no emissions test.
