What is supposed to go on this hole in my intake?


This hole was covered by two thin pieces of metal which are now rattling and there is a really bad exhaust leak noise coming out it obviously. What can I get to seal this?

If this "hole" is on the passenger side it's where the choke stove was inserted into the manifold.
It would be used with a Quadrajet carb.

Here's a link to the part that goes in there: 1970-72 All Oldsmobile Engines Choke Tube Heater Assembly 1Pc

thank you! I’ve got a different carb from factory so it won’t fit but I found a adapter block kit to cover it.

I'm guessing that your Edelbrock carb has an electric choke, so you don't need that pipe for the original hot air choke. You do need to cap the hole.
