Default Missing bolts?

I noticed a threaded hole in my intake manifold with nothing in it. Should there be a bolt or something in it? The hole is on the front edge, driver side, under the front section of where the throttle cables hook up to the TB.

Have fun racing. :) As for the bolt - it's been that way for 8k miles I've put on it so far with no ill effects so no biggie. Thanks. :seeya

Well.... if I ran out to the garage, I'll find nothing but lots of tools, parts, and a 1/2 restored '67 ragtop. :D

It would have to be run outside 80 yards to the car in bare feet on wet grass. :D

OK. It's late, so I'll let you slide by this time Scorp... We can just wait until there's 6 inches of snow on the ground instead! :blueangel: ~Juliet :reddevil

Here is a picture of an LT4 crate motor with the lift bracket in place. Does this answer your question?

Thanks Mez. It looks like the same general location. I see an empty bolt hole and get paranoid I guess. ;) ~Juliet
