Hole above 9th injector?

There is a hole above the 9th injector (cold start injector). What is this hole for? I believe this is the last thing I have to attend to before my fuel lines and being able to start tie car after 11 years of sitting. ( I bought it from a guy in pieces that had it sitting that long).

Thanks for the input
Keith

I'm thinking its where your PCV goes. A pic would help. It should have a barbed nipple for the PCV hose to connect to.

As of right now there is nothing there just a threaded hole.

That's gotta be it. You should be able to get a nipple to screw in that threaded hole and that'll be for the PCV in the driver valve cover.

Yep, just as I thought. There is a hole just right above the 9th injector for the hold down of the injector and right above that is my PCV hose nipple.
