1971 barracuda 318 fuel tank

Hi all, my resto on my 71 barracuda, I bought it in 1984, wrapped it on a pole in the middle of winter when I was 22 years old then decided to restore it, now I'm getting it back together and have a question or 10.... ok the fuel tank I have it figured out except one major issue, on the top of the tank there is a hole 12 inches from the filler, I know the tank is vented from the cap and cant figure out y this hole is there, im thinking it was just covered by a piece of metal tape but doesn't compute, I have the 5 line
evap tube in the trunk..... does it need a fuel resistant plug or is it a vent to the right rail?
