I found the block off plates in '95 when I installed my headers. Unlike the
exhaust manifold, my header doesn't capture the bolt so nuts and lock
washers are necessary. I use stainless for ease of disassembly.
I still have a couple EGR block off plates for the beer barrel intake
manifold. (I don't know why) They aren't necessary for aftermarket intakes
as those usually come with a plug for the port in the intake if you don't
connect the EGR.

Good to know, Jon.

I couldn't have said that any better. ;-)
