Most efficient way to plug up the rear water nipple of the rear plate after TB Mod.
I currently have a hose running of the rear plate to the water pump housing. I did this to bypass my former cold start setup. The water pump housing Is coming out yet again so I could have that tig welded.
As for the water nipple, off the rear plate, what was done to plug It up. I'm looking for Ideas here. I will be doing this Insync with my Koyo Rad Install.

I tapped the waterpump housing for a pipe thread tapered plug.
On the rear housing since the engine was together, I used high pressure fuel inj. hose and a ~2" long stainless pin that fit snuggly in the hose; clamped it all together w/ fuel inj. clamps (Not worm drive clamps, but the ones that *just* fit the hose and incorporate a captured nut and screw to tighten).
It stood ~4" off the engine and would have looked dorky except I used it as a stand to hold my vacuum lines running through a spark plug wire spacer
