292 Y block engine
I have recently rebuilt a 292 Y block. Once I place the intake manifold on there are 2 holes left uncovered. Is there some sort of a crossover tube? If it is much of anything it will come into contact with the distributor. I have 2 other intake manifolds and they are the same. I have another engine and the temperature sender is on the one side and some sort of plug in the other I will attach pictures if I can. Please send your thoughts.

The castings are interchangeable left to right. The holes are probably the unused intake bolt holes. You need to plug both with a short bolt. If you use too long of a bolt it will hit the pushrod.
If it is the temp sensor/core plug holes that you refer to, make sure you didn't put the heads on the wrong side of the motor, effectively blocking coolant flow.
