Air injector removal/bolt replacement question

[kpfoten]

Can't seem to find the thread I was looking for...

I'm removing my air-injector system on my '77 2.7....

Can anyone tell me what length bolt I should replace my air-injectors with? Should I use a particular grade of steel?

Also, my EGR system was disconnected by the PO, and I finally removed the whole thing. Was wondering what kind of cap to place on the muffler where the EGR canister used to go.

Thanks,

When I did mine on my long ago departed SC, I used allen head set screws that were just about the length of the threads in the hole. I can't remember exactly, but they were about half an inch or so.
Hope this helps.

Here in the UK, Type911 sells these:

I guess you can get them in the USA somewhere....

I removed mine recently and found that a convertor drain plug found on the automatic transmisson from a Mercedes Benz 450 SEL will fit pefectly. You can also order from the dealer the matching aluminium washer. It has a hex head and looks very original.

The ones I used were exactly like the ones in Tim's link. Got them at the local metric fastner company for under 5 bucks.
