Welch plug question

[Jclgodale3]

Anyone know of a good supplier of welch plugs? I need a couple 5/8" welch plugs to terminate my heater hose fittings on the 94 LT1 water pump. Anyone?

www.dormanproducts.com has been making plugs since 1918. They have every size under the sun!

Why not tap the openings and plug them that way? Since you need the welch plugs I assume you already remove the 2 pipes?

Pipes are removed. Pump is installed. Figured the welch plugs would give it a cleaner look and easier. That is a big tap size that I do not have...
Would ya'll suggest using loctite on the perimeter of the plug before install?

Yes I would.

I like epoxy but to each his own. I never want it to come out.
