Default DOHC ZC Question

Motor came out of an auto and the intake has 2 vacuum hose points on the back that I'm supposed to cap. Any suggestions on how to cap them

Cut a tiny piece off of the vacuum line, take it to your local auto parts store, ask for a vacuum cap. they'll show you some, find one with the same thickness as your hose.

take them home.

put them on the holes!

i agree with the above poster, vacuum tube caps are probably teh best way to cap open vacuum tubes.

OP - Seriously? Get a vacuum cap or loop the lines. It's really that simple.

don't connect the two ports together! - you will end up with a high idle as one of those ports runs thru the manifold and bypasses the throttle plate, which is just like having a major vacuum leak - cap them off separartely

[sarcasm] Hmmm....I don't know...wouldn't some ridiculous, messy, ghetto way of doing it look better, function better, and cost less? [/sarcasm]

Lol you nailed it, man. How hard of a question is this?
