it's a bit of pipe or nipple or tubing that's about an inch long that sticks out of the bottom of the block. It sticks down and makes a slip joint that the the oil pan oiling assembly sits over connecting the pressurized oil from the oil pump/oil distributor to the oil pan oiling system. From what I can tell by looking inside it is about an inch long. You guys should get the idea but I can post a pic this evening if necessary.
Mine is slightly damaged and I would like to replace it but my books don't list a name or part number. In fact they don't even mention it, lol
Any help appreciated folks, freezerburn

Give me ambiguity

You could probably run a tap into the inside, and use a bolt, a nut, and a stack of flat washers to pull it out. Then just tap a new piece into place with a little red Loctite to help hold it in.
