 something like that?  I've called plumbing and A/C suppliers in my area
 and can't come up with anything.  A few places told me that if they had
 them, they'd only be in brass.  If I can find brass ones, would they
 work?  The manifold is cast iron and the AIR tubes are stainless.  Will
 brass take the heat cycling and temps? >>


Brass will work.  I have seen theese plugs at Trak Auto.  Also, a pipe plug
will work, I know, I've done it.
