Missing Nipple Piece on Plenum.. Replacement?
Bought a Polished plenum and just went to install it and as I was getting it on and I realized this little nipple piece was not on it.. I tried taking it off my old plenum but that was a no go.. Can I substitute something in there or.. Any suggestions would be great:}

its probably bonded in... that is for your brake booster, so you need to get that fixed somehow. maybe find the ID of the opening and get a piece of tubing and JB weld it in there?

If you can afford the downtime, I'd send the plenum back and ask for another one...

I think you can use npt barbed hose fitting but you will likely need to tap it (probably 3/8" npt tap). Just find a fitting that is just a hair tight - either 1/4" or 3/8" from lowe's and get the tap to match (also at lowes). Make sure the hose end also fits snug before you drill out the plenum.
