I've had good luck getting plugs from Amazon.com. The owner's manual should tell you which ones to get.

The Autozone here employs idiots too.
I asked for 3ft of 1/4" vacuum hose? The guy asks, for what model car? (Wanting to look it up on the computer.)
I said, I just need 3ft of 1/4" vacuum hose. He repeats " for what model car?"
I said," isn't that a spool of 1/4" vacuum hose behind you?" He says, "yes, for what model car?"
I wanted to just bitch slap him. Finally I said, "can you just cut me 3ft. of that hose right there?"
He did it, with an attitude. Haven't been back since.

I can understand if they want that info for marketing purposes, to see what makes/models they might should stock parts for, but he could have explained that to you-- or just given up and cut you your 3' of 1/4" vacuum hose (without attitude).
