i looked up an edelbrock 2171 on summit to see what your talking about... the frontmost hole is pretty good size appears to be in the water jacket so this would be a great place for a heater hose/temp sender/ or other bypass hose if you dont want it plug it off

400's don't have any water jackets in the intake.

I'd say just put a plug in it, and go on.

Mine had a smog pump port in mine, maybe that is it.

Yes, and a brass pipe plug will fit right in and seal the hole.
