Default Plugging MAP vacuum line

Ok, so when i did my MAF conversion, i plugged the line with silicone gasket maker(all i had available). its holding up, but i'm not so sure that i feel safe in the long run. What has everyone else used??? I was told to use a screw, but i'm not sure what size screw.

any help???

you can buy vac line caps at your local auto part store... and make sure you dont have the MAP sensor itself capped off... it has to read atmosphere pressure
