1967 273 Intake Question

I looked up and found this to be the California Emissions manifold. There are two large holes in the manifold. One has a fitting and is capped and the other one is just a threaded hole. The engine runs but it does not have any low end power. The car is manual disc brake, 4-speed. Is there supposed to be a plug or something else in that hole? Thanks!
