Good Morning and Happy Friday,
A close friend and fellow wrencher is "borrowing" this piece for his rebuild. So I have no choice but to find another one.......for
my eventual rebuild.
This one is from a 1958 (I believe) 261. Looks like an oil distribution fitting that lubricates the timing gears. It screws directly into the plate, and then bolts to the block as shown. A source for a new one would be appreciated. My "friend" will pay dearly. DAVE 261 !!!!
Hopefully this link works:
