Bolts don't make very good caps because some air will still get sucked past the threads. Affect? ... mmm prob. not enough to notice, but it's still ugly as shizzle. I bought a box of various sized vacuum caps from JC Whitney ... invaluable for any C3 owner.

I won't effect the proper running of your engine or performance that much. I would go to napa, autozone, pepboys etc.. and spend a buck and buy a vacuum cap. Pull the hose from the carb and slip the cap over the nipple. It will be a lot cleaner looking and a LOT more functional than a bolt. The bolt thing is ok for a short term fix but i won't leave it like that. To BUBBA for me.
