Default vacuum "plugs"

most of the vacuum ports on my Q-Jet are unused (pollution controls removed). just using a short piece of hose sealed off on the ends to plug them. is there a source for "proper" vacuum plugs for a carb? thx.

NAPA sells a kit of about 10 different sizes. Look on the "Help" rack at any good parts store. Joe

All the parts houses sell them in the HELP section or close, but the best ones I've seen are the ones from MOROSO. They really stick. You can order them from Advance or Oreillys or probably mail order from Jegs or Summit etc.
