Open Element Vacum Plug

What have you guys used for a professional looking vacum plug or cap that I can find at a standard store? I searched and read the open element FAQ but its just so much damn reading.

Could you guys post pics if you can?

Dimension would also help.

I went to carquest and asked the guy for vacuum caps and he lead the way lol. It was one of those HELP products and came with several caps.

Go to autozone and go the the isle where they have the "HELP" section of stuff. Look for a pack of vacuum caps. They are cheap there are all sorts of sizes in there.

Hey shifty, do you know what size it is cause I crammed the 1/8 plug on and it wont go all the way on but its tight, then I tried the 7/32 and 3/16 and they were too loose.

It has been a long time since I did that. I think I just found one that fit on tight and didn't make note of its size. The 1/8" should work. I don't think any plug will go on all the way.
