On the manifold mounting flange at the rear end,  what is the slotted area
for?  Also you didn't answer my question previously that being, what happens
to the disused side ports, are they just covered up by the mounting flange
or do you propose to fill them?

I don't follow you. There is no mounting flange.
First I assume you are talking about the P-port engine.
all disused side ports are filled with high temp epoxy. JP Weld can be used
if you first heat the containers in boiling water to thin it out and then mix it.

If it is the slot in the slide throttle then that is to accommodate the
throttle clevis that connects with the push pull rod going to the instrument
panel. Here are a few pics & 3D illustrations that hopefully will clear things
up.
