For what it’s worth, I don’t believe that bolt was for a 67 option. Ive seen it on too many 66’s.
My car didn’t have it but someone had changed from the original carb to a Holley. So it could have been there originally. The parts car had one and had the original carb. Same as Otto’s. My parts car had the transmission line attached to it but I know that wasn’t right because the metal tube was all bent around to reach it.
My personal opinion is that it doesn’t matter. As long as you have vacuum where you need it and ported vacuum to the distributor and all the others plugged you should be good.
Since I’m putting the original carb back on mine I’ve been looking for the Same info and I don’t think it exists. There were too many options and too many variables.
Just my two cents.
