Make sure the car is running with MJ before you plug the dizzy hole with a welsh plug. I plugged it and have since sold my MJ stuff, and need to get the plug out to get a dizzy back in there lol.
Hindsight is a bitch.

Using a welsh plug is a great idea, lot easier than cajoling my friend to turn one up for me on his lathe. :)

Do you have to use any type of sealer on the welsh plug though, or just bung it in?

get a pin punch and tap one side of the plug to spin it around, then you can grab it with pliers and pull it out

nah, just bung it in. Sit it in the hole squarely, put a piece of wood over it and tap it in

Yeah! A good friend has (is making it as I write this) made me a bung from alloy with O ring for the dissy hole. :D

Just hope I gave him the right dimensions. :roll:
