I recieved a mac air intake and I installed it last night, everything works properly and I'm very pleased with everything except the extra hole on the intake tube next to where the breather hose is, the 2001 sport trac doesn't have any use of it so they included a plastic plug to block it off. Pretty simple, only thing is the plastic plug is to small for the hole, any ideas on what I can use to plug the hole? It's only about 3/4 of an inch wide. Or maybe just use sealant to secure the plug in place? Thank fr any help.
 






Lots of hardware stores sell plastic plugs, you could probably find on there that fits it, or a plastic cap. I wouldn't recommend using sealant, as the damage it could cause to your engine if it get sucked into the intake isn't worth it.
 






Oh yeah I hadn't thought about the possibility o sucking that crap in, I'll go around to some hardware stores tomorrow and see what I can find, thanks Obie
