Stock 273 4bbl intake question

Has anyone figured out why they made this threaded side car on some of the 273 4bbl intakes? It's a blind hole, so, it's not a passageway to anywhere. I don't know of anything that would mount there, especially with that big a hole. It's a C.A.P. intake if that makes any difference to anyone.
