Yes, they are 3/8" I believe. You should be able to find an assoertment of plugs, such as vacuum port plugs, at some part stores. I used plastic caps that cover fittings and the like on new parts I install at work.

I bought mine at Pep Boys, they were hanging on the shelf,
packaged 2 per package.
Cost $1.99, I used 5/8, they fit perfect.
I believe the hose-to & from-the TB is also 5/8.
:cheers:
PS Mine is an '88.

Re: TB bypass caps LT4 (Wayne88)
I did the bypass..cheap, easy, why not?? ...But does cold air make that much difference?? If it did I think we'd all be running a bootleg hose from an ac vent to throttle body...Can you believe I actually ponderd ways that could be done at one point?? :lolg: and if you think thats funny..you'd really like my thoughts on a "poor boys" supercharger! lol!

My TB gets hot, probably hotter that the coolant that would pass thru it.
