1965 273 4-bbl intake. What is this connector for?

The port is for power brakes- power steering has nothing to do with manifold vacuum. Size should be 3/8 NPT.
Agree with the above- someone probably misplaced the original plug and just used a spare sender to plug the hole.

Power brakes…right. I don’t know what I was thinking. Thanks much for thread size. I’ll pick up an actual plug for it at the hardware store.
