[Roadsters] Intake manifold question

[oliver]

no, these are just the engine side of the carbs.

if you look at this picture  http://tinyurl.com/3l3hpyt

the little bolt head is very evident on the left (front) manifold halfway 
between the head and the carb.

apparently this opening is supposed to be connected via hose to the 
right/rear manifold for balance
