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: [img] https://photos.app.goo.gl/XznwmqsHtcSaLHh48[/img] Thanks, Joe

Used is probably where you’ll find one.

It was loose and the nozzle was pointing away from the gear set. I clocked it to point to the gear set and took a punch and put some stake marks on the back to tighten it up.
