You just need to know the hole size - I only know b18a/b (34.3mm) and it will do the same job

Re: (envee)
I went looking for a plug back when i was blocking my piece and i couldnt find one anywhere. So instead i just ended up cutting a piece of sheet metal the size of the whole and JB welding it up. Never leakes or anything and it cost me **** i already had in the garage.

The plug i keep mentioning is a "freeze plug" or "expansion plug" if its made out of a softer, more expandable material (like copper/brass)
Its just what its called - same thing.
All you need is the size of the hole and you can make anyhting work. No need to spend crazy amounts of money like others do for the same purpose

I ended up using an expandable freeze plug from autozone. Its a rubber grommet; with a washer on both side with a bolt through it; you tighten the bolt and it expands the rubber. It works flawlessly

I am installing a catch can to on my b16 and when I removed the black box there is a hole that it tapped for threads and one that is not... I know one hose runs from the threaded one but what do I use to block the other off????

Haha i hope you mean dial caliper or digital caliper. The hole for a b-series is 34.3mm which is just shy of 1 3/8" and inside micrometer for that size goes for a couple hundred bucks. I don't think people have them laying around. But any way b-series is 34.3mm in diameter like i said. I went to advance auto parts last night and picked up an expandible rubber plug for $2.98. It's basically just a rubber grommet with a nut and washer and as your tighten the nut it expands the rubber to form the hole you are putting it in. The one i picked up ranges from 34mm to 38mm

that doesnt look like a bad plug...
I wouldve slathered on some rtv sealant though (goes with the jbweld on my dorman plug - i fear leaks)
are those brass fitting on your vents anti-syphon?
