Which end are you having trouble with?

The heads end should be pretty obvious the other end we would like to know if you want it purely stock or if you would like a few extra HP by rerouting it away from the TB?

FWIW sometimes those washers can leak after you remove the steam pipe a few times. People have used oil drain plug washers as a substitute if you get in a bind.

AC system seals also work if the parts store doesn't have enough oil plug seals in stock. Last time I went they had 3 of the oil ones....................
