1986 Chevy Suburban Heat Riser Question?

My 86 Burb has a vac operated heat riser on the pass side exhaust.

My question is without vac is it in the Closed? or Open? position.

Im not going to be using it and I wanted to make sure that if I simply put a vac cap over the vac port of the Heat Riser that it is in the OPEN position and not closed.

Thanks in advance for your response.

When the vac is disconnected, the butterfly valve remains in the open position. I just disconnected the vac line and left the heat riser valve in place. You should be good to go with your plan.
