Reply to "Intake"

This line comes from the rear of the carb (when you look into the engine bay, you can see it about an inch below where it says Holley), and then goes into the intake, flat surface. Since the rubber isn't fitting correctly on the intake, there is a small amount of oil coming either from the hose or the intake openining onto the intake surface, making a mess. If you put your finger in the hole into the intake, you feel metal about an inch down into the intake. I don't know why someone would put this hose line here if it is not needed. But if I don't need such a hose, I don't know what I could use to plug that hole (I suppose it should be plugged_. The opening is about the size of a silver dollar. I could try my coark from my Merlot bottle, but the diameter is too small.
