push rod ?

this piece was in the pile of parts and i figure it goes here but there is holes in the top of it but nothing in the top of the motor to bolt it down. also the back end fits perfect and i a smooth machine type cut. the front of it fits perfect as well but it looks like somebody cut it to fit on that end because its kinda jagged and sharp but is a perfect fit from what i can tell
