The function of that port is news to me. ?I have a ?'60 BN7 in the range that
had the starting carb. The ports in the?intake manifold were present when I
purchased the car, but each had a short piece of rubber hose blocked by a small
bolt. They had no function, and the car was fitted with two HD6 carbs and was
absent the starting carb. ?My since sold Jag MK 2 had a starting carb, and it
gave me no problems. ?I have since removed the intake manifold bits on the
Healey those and pretty?nicely covered the ports. But now I know that my car
likely has a replacement head. ?It does not have the triangular port discussed
here.
