Autozone has caps to plug your carb. Just tell 'em what you're doing & they'll fix you up.

Serious... I found a tapered screw, ... that tapped in snug, without boogering the the outer of the brass nipple...
Perfect... completely reversible, and fully secure... then I covered the screw with a rubber nipple for cosmetic dressing...
I tried several rubber covers, and they all seem to rot away after a period of months...
so, close it good... ;)...

you might look in a hardware store for a copper tubing cap.
fill it up with rtv and shove it on.

I squirted some RTV into the tube before folding it. The tube was the OEM vacuum tube.
