This is just a guess, but do you mean the back of the intake manifold? If so, depending on the year, it's part of the EGC system (which consisted of a plate under the carb with the hose coming out the rear). You can have it repaired, or if the vehicle is smog exempt, just leave it plugged. Or, it may just be a vacuum tap and the back of the manifold for power brakes, etc.
