Is that a recently refurb'ed motor? I know SoCal cars can look amazing to people from the rusty north, but can't be original with that little rust.
My 64 slant has the same round heat control weight, but the manifold doesn't have that hole. Your engine looks a bit later, with the exhaust pre-heat plenum, but I don't see an EGR valve and your block has the 5 core plugs, so perhaps a late 60's CA model. Hard to imagine someone drilled that hole, so probably factory. Check your shop manual if they mention adding the solvent there to free up the valve. Chrysler dealers used to sell the special solvent.

It's a 1970. I repainted painted the engine and manifolds. I'll check the service manual. Thanks
I bought a can of that infamous solvent on Amazon a couple months ago. I followed one of SSD's links that led me to it.
