1955 Dual Carb manifold question

Hi All,

After just over 2 years my 1955 Packard Caribbean should be on the road mid week. For those of you using Facebook, I have uploaded an album showing the progress (will upload to picasa tomorrow and post a link to the album)

I also have a question in regards to the dual 4bbl manifold setup. As from the pictures attached you will see between ports 3 & 5 you will notice a black cap. This is currently covering a small hole (looks like a hole for a vacuum line) but I already have another vacuum line running as seen in picture 2. I was advised the the hole in question in the first photo was an outlet for exhaust heat. (As yet I haven't had the engine running for a period to check) but was wondering if anyone can provide any information


Many thanks,
Mathew
