I'm pulling everything external and labeling parts so I can remove my 55.2 235 3100 engine and do a full teardown and I can't identify a part/hole on the exhaust manifold. Something used to be connected to the hole, but is no longer.
The second from the firewall exhaust flange has a moveable (up & down) shield(?) I tried to show in the pictures, but am I missing a connecting line or something where the drilled hole is?
Can anyone tell me if this is an
exhaust heat shield or hole for an auto choke carb connection? The truck came with a manual choke carb (which I want to get back too), but a Rochester BC auto choke carb with nothing connected to the coil spring was added sometime ago.
Thank you kindly for the advice & I hope this is not a dumb question- I couldn't find the part/adaptation in the manual.
