5/16" inflared fitting plugs is what I used when I had stock manifolds. Picked them up at a local rubber and gasket supply house..

I used 1/4" brass pipe plugs with teflon tape (both found in plumbing dept.), but I have heard that you are supposed to use 1/4" flare plugs. Mine are working fine, though, just be sure to tighten them up every now and then.
