There is no hole for the heater hose nipple and I was told that the fitting with 3 tubes is not used but that is the only thing that will fit in the hole. Any ideas? The red arrow is where I think the fitting with 3 tubes goes. The blue arrow is pointing to a hole and Ihave no idea what goes in it. PS: Excuse the filthy engine. It will be getting a makeover in about a month. 5270960-CIMG0746[1024x768].JPG (46 downloads)

It allows vacuum to pass after a certain coolant temperature has been reached. It was originally used for an e.g.r. or some other "smog" device. Unless you are keeping all of the factory "smog" equipment intact,I wouldn't worry about putting it back. I would put the heater hose nipple in the large hole and plug the small one.If you have to, it looks like there's enough material around the small threaded hole to allow you to enlarge it to another thread size if necessary.Don't forget to use thread sealer on the nipple.
