Manifold Vacuum Thread Size

Morning,

I searched but didn't seem to find.

Anyone know the proper thread type and size for the manifold vacuum port? Trying to cap it but 3 trips to the store netted me 3 caps that don't fit.

Didja try 3/8 NPT? I think that's a lot of 'em.

It's a straight thread, an AN fitting will work, but I don't remember which.

I assume you are working on a flathead?

A cap or plug? Most I've seen are a tapped hole in the manifold, which would require a plug. What I did to temporarily plug mine was to use a short piece of 1/2" hose with a short 1/2" bolt in it, and hose clamp it.

I just plugged one in my manifold. Mine was a 7/16" fine thread bolt. I used a copper washer with it. It's the open hole in the pic. I took the nipple out and plugged it. I used the carburetor base plate fitting instead. Hope this helps.
