Default Piping with 3/8 bung

Looking for some aluminum tubing to make an intake. Truck will be tuned SD so won't need a MAF, but will need a place for IAT sensor. I'll need a 3/8 hole in the intake tract somewhere. This won't be for boost but figure one of you would be the ones to ask.

Ive looked on siliconeintakes.com and they have a fitting to go in a silicone boot but I'd rather it go in the piping if possible.

You just want the aluminum tubing to make your own intact tract not the physical intake?

Yeah. It's all in a '72 C10... I'll make my own intake. Needs to go to the driver front corner instead of the passenger anyway, the battery is over there.

I don't Think you will find anything with a bung already welded in.
Summit has "Air Intake Tubes" For the piping and they also sell bungs as well.

Maybe Trick could help you out???

If you have an EGR equipped intake manifold a popular place is right there behind the TB.

Using the 90mm truck manifold. No EGR...... a drill bit could make a 3/8 hole though

I dug around the webz and found a fitting to put it in a silicone coupler. I'll just put it in the elbow directly in front of the throttle body. 92mm cable TB was also ordered for it today.

I just made my own aluminum bing from 3/8 aluminum threaded with npt tap, then welded it to my intake pipe. Most welding shops wouldn’t charge much to weld it on for ya.

We can build you a throttle body pipe, using 3.5" aluminum with any bung you want to add to it.

I did that, too. The first time. After that I welded a slug of aluminum to the pipe, then drilled and tapped it. Expect to re-tap any threaded fitting that has been welded on.
