On the side of the Edelbrock 1107 4bbl manifold is a vacuum port for an unknown something. I need to plug this port, but am unsure of the thread and type of seal. Can anyone help?

Well I was doing some final assembly or so i thought... flywheel, clutch disk, pressure plate, bellhousing, starter pla.... why is the flywheel hanging out on the bottom?:mad::confused: After some late night research I have determined that my supposed ready to go (kit), included the incorrect...

So.. I was installing cast grant rings P.N. P3108.100 and spreading them using a Lisle ring spreader. Everything was fine with four pistons ringed and installed in their bores. Then I started putting rings on the other four pistons. I got several done. As I was spreading one of the oil rings...
