Sensor hole?

Use to be a 302, but now swapping in 351.  GT40 lower.
There is a hole in the intake behind the throttle body.  I can't find any info on what should go there, but I'm thinking a sensor.....which one, don't know.  Any help would be appreciated.

are you talking about the EGR port? you would have to remove the throttle body to see it.

I don't know, thats why I'm here. :D
You'd have to take off more that the throttle body for this.  The heater core lines block it too.

Here are some pics with the hole circled.

Yeah, the GT40 is on the engine, and I couldnt get a good picture. Thats the stocker.  Same size and place. 
Would it make a difference?

I blocked mine off, than you need to plug up the port on the black coolant hard line also.
