Are you talking about the center bolt?
Early cars had a bolt in the threaded hole, later cars just had a force
fit pipe.
That bolt should come out fairly easy, maybe it has some corrosion,
steel bolt, aluminum manifold.
Heat it up with a torch, do mind the carbs as they will have gas in them.
Or try some penetrating oil first.
If it's a pipe, vice grips with a twisting pulling out motion and it
comes out.
