It is being used to plug a hole where valves for the air pump used to be. You can replace it with a very short bolt.

Or just leave it there and tell everyone at Cruise Night that you have a very rare 5 cylinder Spider.

Imagine the confused look on their face when you tell them you don't need a modified distributor because of the advanced Italian engineering of the time.

versuspop: I hope you aren't taking any offence at all this fun we are having with this situation, but please understand the level of craziness that we all have seen perpetrated by prior owners when we got our cars too.. And this is a good one, a classic! All in jest and friendly jousting.
