I've heard some people drill them out and fill the hole. Just curious to see what you did. I've got a pair ready to be installed but I painted them before seeing that maybe I should have removed that heat tube.
Drilled and knocked out tube...do it now, because A it will rust out, and 2, you'll have to pull the manifold to tap the bottom hole. Maybe you will have clearance to tap it with the manifold mounted, but it could be difficult

Now that I think about, once I knocked out the tube, the hole was just the rite size to be tapped for a 1/8" NPT
