Hey guys came to you since you guys seem to know more about this stuff than any other forum!:bigok: well my question is, I wanna plug this vacuum line up maybe with a rubber cap, and clamp it with a hose clamp. Does anyone know where i can find a rubber cap? I've searched Autozone, Kragen, Pep boys, Ace hardware! Thanks guy appreciate it! And i've searched!

Why not just cut it off and weld a block off plate on it? Another place to try is the hardware store like home depot or lowes.

Jesus man its like 2 or 3 plumbing parts it cant be more than 10 bucks just go buy it. I would say not cut it and just weld a block off plate on the end. That way if you ever wanna open it up in the future its still there and you can open it yourself with a hacksaw.


EDIT: Question was answered.

No need to get hostile. Thanks for your input tho. I don't plan on cutting it of, for that exact reason. Thanks!

You could always take a hose that fits it, and plug it. Ive used hoses before and then screwed a bolt in the end then used a clamp on it. Pretty ghetto but another option...

no matter how you clamp it off you want to make sure that it can not be sucked in. if this happens it could cause damage to your engine.
