I'm missing what looks like a bolt underneath the spark plug lead where it says number 3. What is it and is it important?
It sounds like a helicopter.
More specific please??? Size of bolt hole, location detail???

Don't sound right.....
work with me fellas, my digi cam is broke.
anyway it's underneath the intake manifolds where the spark plug goes into.
like an inch below the spark plug there is a round hole where a bolt looking thing with a hex nut on it.
to make you guys cringe more. when i turn off the lights, i can see a little flame pop out...and yes it sounds like a helicopter...
How long has it been sounding like a helicopter? Is this new?

Is this a 75 or 76? If so, it's probably the air injection hole. IF so, you need to plug that thing.

Has your car been de-smogged?
If the air pump is missing then you can replace it with a M8x1.25 bolt (IIRC). If the pump is still there and working, you need the air injector.
does your car not have sheet metal up around the plugs? I can't really see where the plugs screw into the heads, but from underneith, I already know the valve cover is prettty much right under the spark plug hole, so I dunno zactly where you're talking about. Is the bolt that you talk about under the other plugs?

I can't tonight. I have to get to bed. I will post something on this tomorrow evening.
If you have a Haynes manual, read pages 57-60. If you don't have one, get one.
If all of your emissions control crap is still in place, then a connection to the air injector has come loose and needs to be restored. The scary part is... just how did it come loose??? If it has been removed then it needs to be capped.
Here's a photo of mine, which is DE-smogged and capped. Is this the area in question??
Sell it, I mean, right now. Your family is in danger!!!
