Default bleed valve

hi looking at the car today and who ever had it before put a bleed valve in it.but it only has two pipes going to it should it be 3 it has the fitting on it for a third pipe if so does the third pipe go to the fuel meter as it has a pipe coming off it which has been cut and blocked where i think the amal valve was?????

thats where the bleed air goes from the amal valve, if you still have one? if not if your bleed valve has 3 ports, the lower port for air bleeding will feed to this or you can let it bleed to atmosphere and leave the metering unit pipe blocked off.
