that was used to plug the vac tube. I don't think anyone has discussed capping the solenoid.

Default Black rubber caps made especially for automotive vacuum applications
Avail. at any auto parts store, they come in kits of multiple sizes, under $5.00 most places. In the store, they're near the other vacuum parts - tees, adapters, etc.

Default I'm using a cork temporarily until I get some solenoid caps.
Makes for a nice ghetto look too, for anyone who cares to peer under the bumper.

For those with new exhaust systems, what did you do with the vacuum lines?
