NO!
With brute force, you can make a standard fitting work - ONCE.
DON'T DO IT!
(I assume we're talking about the four air injectors. The two
fittings on the intake manifold are standard 1/4 pipe plugs)
Tom Walter occasionally makes specially-shaped plugs, but he's
been kinda busy with other things lately. You can buy a set from
Rallye Roadster up in Washington.
The 2000 engines need a specially shaped plug to prevent 'bird chirping'.
Both Tom's and Rallye's plugs are correctly designed. BTW, I have a
set of Tom's plugs in my 1600.

Why? For daily drivers in real-world conditions, manifold preheaters
are there for a legitimate reason.
