It screws into the intake manifold somewhere doesn't it? I can't find the hole it goes to.

Next to the Distributer hole in the block there is a hole there for that.

Ok thanks. I thought that hole was for the distributor hold down clamp/ bolt.

It is the oil pressure sender or sensor, it either works the idiot light, or the oil pressure gauge. 87cam305 is correct, it goes on the top of the block, facing the firewall, under the drivers side of the distibutor.
