Plugs for flare fittings?

[Don.F.Broadus at ucm.com]

When I plugged the holes on my 82 T/A I used regular pipe plugs. The brass
will work also the just turn colors. The T/A
had a hole on each cylinder, does your have the one big hole on the front of
the exhaust manifold ? I believe the plugs are 
1/4 or 5/16 NPT.          Don
