Olds Cast Iron Manifold

Hello,

I need some help with trying to figure out what this hole is to the right of the secondaries, between # 5 and #7. I don't recall ever seeing a hole like this on these manifolds. I don't think it will cause any sealing issues, but would like to know if anyone has seen this before. Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks in advance
Kino

There is no hole between the #5 and #7 runners. Are you talking about the cast hole in the flange between the exhaust crossover and the #5 runner? That's likely used to locate the rough casting for finish machining.

Yes, Joe that's what I meant to type. Sometimes I think one thing and type another. I'm only human
