There is a factory GM plug for that hole. Your best bet would be to go to GM and try to get one, they were used from the factory on GTO`s so they should be available. You may be able to find something at the hardware store or autoparts store, but I would try GM first.

If the hole is tapered/stepped you might try stopping by a lawnmower repair shop, the carburetors on them use small aluminum plugs like that. If it is a large enough shop they may have some in stock in bulk.
Or just grab a tapered rubber vacuum plug and stick it in till you get the correct plug.
