I have the radiator off and the block drained. Looking to delete the heat. How do I plug the firewall holes for the heater core and how do I plug the water pump heater plugs?
Thank you

I took my waterpump to a machine shop and had them drilled,tapped and plugged up. As far as the hole where the heater core was...you can either buy a cover from BMR or make your own out of sheet metal.
What about looping the ports with a hose? Anyone know where I can get a hose to do that?
Buy some rubber caps/plugs from parts store. Or just leave as is. Ur talking about the two ports coming from the firewall I assume?
Parts store has a rubber plug I used for the water pump too. You tighten a screw and it expands.
Both water pump and firewall. Can you give me the part number for both if you have them and pictures if possible. I appreciate it jay
You can also use NPT taps and plugs on the water pump. Sizes should be 1/2" and 3/8" IIRC. I chose to go this route so I can use other fittings if the need arises. As for the firewall, I have seen them capped off. I removed all HVAC so I didn't need to address that personally.

They just go in like a screw?Quote:

I'm new to this. Can you explain how to tap it with said tool? Guess you just put the round tool in the hole on the water pump and take the rod and hammer it in?Quote:
