I took off fuel pump 1959 235 while prepping engine
anyway one of the bolts that holds it on
is drilled hollow and hose barb on end that has hose
to fuel pump.the fuel pump double type.
this engine came out of a 1 1/2 ton. i didnt
notice where the other side went on that truck.??
or what it was for.engine oil is in that part of pump.
can i just not use that part and put reg bolt back in.
what was its purpose ??
thanks

It was probably used as an oil filter return line. On certain GMC 270s that's what they are used for. Its a quick and easy way to return oil to the pan without drilling the block.
