Blocking Nozzles
I am removing the air pump off my 13B. I know that RB sells blocking nozzles for 12A's. Does anyone sell them for 13B's or will these they fit either one?

Blocking Nozzels
I'm also interested in that answer if I can't locate a good intermediate exhaust to bolt up to my good thermal reactor.
Will a racing beat header bolt up still using the A.I.R.pump?

RB Blocking Nozzles:
1975 and earlier Rx-2 and Rx-3...Part # 11301
1974/75 Rx-4, and 1974-76 Rotary Pickup...Part# 11302
That is how they are listed on page 53 of Racing Beat's older version of their 'Technical Manual/Catalog', anyway...
Some folks simply plugged these holes with regular bolts, then ground 'em down to flush in the exhaust ports... IMHO, it's much better to avoid the use of dissimilar metals in this location, and plug aluminum with aluminum, rather than steel.
The air pump and all the rest of that stuff get removed when the header goes on. There's an additional blockoff plate that covers where that system used to mount to the stock intake manifold.

Blocking nozzels
OK, Thanks Klaus.
I better buy the plate and nozzels for the future. If I can repair or get a new stock intermediate exhaust thats all I really need . This is my excuse to get a good custom exhaust.... Maybe Santa will bring a header and pre silencer.

I hope he does!
The RB header --and a free-flowing exhaust from there back-- is the single best bang-per-buck upgrade from stock you can make. Plus, then you're set for your choice of intake improvements... (or not).

I didn't even use any blocking nozzles. One one engine I shoved a bunch of quicksteel in the ACV port. On the other, I simply used an ACV cover plate.
