What is this used for on an OE 340 intake?

Might?? be for idle stop solenoid. I think they were used on some CA smoggers and also with AC.
the idle stop is on the passenger side front corner of the carb on my 72. I think 71 was in the same spot but different design. This area is on the driver side of the carb. The image is one I found on the web but I'm sure my 72 340 intake also has the same edit: My intake is actually a 71
