Gene -
Definitely don't cap off that hole. If you do... crankase pressure
will build up and your car will start burning oil and leaking oil at
about 5 times its normal rate!
You can just leave the hole open, it doesn't leak hardly any oil. If
you really want to hook it up to the carbs with a rubber tube, just
get some original burgess filters and redo the mounts and holes for
the 1-3/4" carbs.
Also there are a ton of chrome aftermarket filters to fit this carb.
Very common fitting.
