Holley Help

I have a Holley Carburator (that I'm trying to rebuild) with a Hole in the Metering Body Assembly Primary(?) that was originally covered with the metal putty stuff. Now I know I can pay ~$8 & cover it again (with putty), but I wouldn't mind knowing what it does, & if there is something that I can get to do the proper repair. Thank you for any responses.
(I bought Holley Part #4321 / 26-59 Metering Block Spark Fitting & 3/16" CA360 Brass Fitting Plug. This hole is much smaller than 3/16th")

Geezer is right, looks like the nipple may have broken off inside.

Re: Holley Help

Thank you both for the ultra quick response! Guess I'll be using the metal putty to fix it then. Someday in the future tap & insert some brass thing more permanent.
