Brake Booster Port Plug

Wondering if there are any slick ways to block off the brake booster port on a stock truck intake manifold before I just fill the removable quick release nipple with epoxy putty or JB Weld.

Does a quick release "plug" exist?

Good point. Spent a bit of time searching and can't seem to identify a GM part number for it.

Anyone have any insight on obtaining one?

Does that type of quick release fitting have an official or brand name?

Is it used in other industries or is it a GM specific design/use?

I found a plug. GM doesnt make them anymore and their are no aftermarket replacements that are affordable. I found a guy who sold me one but most you have to get the intake with it lol. You might be able to thread a 1/4" pipe plug into one.

Was just wondering if there was an existing part or method I wasn't aware of.

Thanks everyone.
