I've made my own plugs, from the stock smog injectors. I did this with
the cylinder head off the engine, in order to make the plugs flush with
the ports. Basically, I cut the injectors at the bottom to extend just a
bit into the port chamber, and cut them above the threaded end. I tapped
them to accept a steel bolt, then cut the assembly partway up the
injector thread to seat inside the cylinder head. I ground a slot in the
top so I could thread the assembly into the cylinder head with a slotted
screwdriver. The hard part is grinding the bottom to be flush and smooth
with the cylinder head port wall. When you're done, insert them with a
screwdriver, and screw in a small plug above as insurance that all stays
in place. No more whistles.

While Dave is on the smog issue, I have a question about smog plugs.
Earlier 
this year someone made a set and sold them on ebay. Is there anyone out 
there who is making them, can make them or knows someone who has made
them? 
I need a set for my whistling '70 - 2000.

Thanks
