What are these?

Thermal reactor ports? What do I need to do to them so I can mount my turbo manifold or headers? The exhaust gaskets(4port 13B to TII) that I have one do not cover them.

Thanks, Ed

I take it this is engine has 74-78 housings? If so, RB or MT sells a plug kit for those ports. Easy part is dropping the oil to access the banjo style bolts that lead to the ports. Fun part is getting them out without snapping them in half.
