What is this part

Got it! Ive got the rad out right now, and the timing cover off. No timing tab. So i am static timing. Ive got to put the timing cover back on when i get the new gasket,put the pulley on and rig a temp gas tank. Ive the gas tank out for a cleaning and a painting. Im waiting on the new sending unit gasket. She has not been started in im not sure how long. the motor has a fairly new rebuilld. im thinking 5000 miles on it. Im not sure though. some one rolled back the odometer so im guessing. ive only had her a couple of months. so i am doing every thing so i know its done right. I cant wait to fire her up for the first time.
