Default headers installed, but!

Finished my header and y pipe install in 7 hours, but I ran into 2 problems.
I need an EGR deleting kit and an o2 extention. They sell them on ebay, but I don't want to wait that long. Does anyone know where I can get them
ASAP?

I bought a fuel pump block off plate for a SBC at nappa, the holes where perfect, just had to cut off a peace that over hanged and and would have hit the block, it wasn't prity, but it worked great.

I have the rear o2s taken care of. It's the front driver side o2 that I can't plug in.
How do I plug up the hole in the intake where the egr pluged in?

What kind of plug do you need on the O2 extension? I have a 24'' four wire extension with a flat connector new in the box, that I won't be using for a few days.

If it's an emergency, you could allways extend it yourself. Just make sure you solder and heat shrink the splices. Worst case is you would have to by a new O2 sensor if it didn't work out well.

The egr stuff should be pretty easy to make. I used an old aluminum road sign to make mine.

I'm in Oviedo. It's probably a couple of hours from you, but you can come get it, if that's your best option. I just paid $55 to have a pair of them delivered, so you can have one for $28. I have plenty of time to order another one. You can call me at 407-304-6261, and get the address. I'll be close to home all day.
