Default plugging direct port holes

I have my fast 90 drilled and tapped for the 8 nozzles, but i'm still waiting for some more tubing and the tube bender to come in the mail and i want to drive my car. Will the nozzles leak if i drive it without anything hooked up to them or should i pull all them out and plug them? also if i should plug them what do you guys use?

yes, they will let air out of the intake unless plugged with lines or capped off.

or you cap the nozzles if you don't want to pull them.

They're just -3an caps. You'll have to keep the jets in the nozzles and then cap them. I think 8 1/16 NPT plugs would be cheaper than 16 an caps.

You will need to cap off all nozzles that do not have tubing on them, and any distribution block fittings that do not have tubing on them.
If the nozzles are installed and sealed no need to remove them. Go to you local parts house and get some vaccum caps, they're cheap and easy to get. You just want a snugg fit when installing them. Then once your tubing comes in you can start to plumb the intake again. Keep in mind with this capping method, ANY hick up or backfire all those vaccum caps will go flying.
