    Barb, if it is this hole it is for vacuum. The manifold will take a wide range of carburators and not all will have all the vacuum ports.

    Actually a couple of the ports you mentioned on the Rochester were probably for the choke pull offs. In many cases (like my stock manifold) there is an additional vacuum T located in the rear runner for a vacuuum sourse for the AC doors and cruise control.

    To answer your question it's fine to plug the hole if you're not going to use it.
