Ok team. I need help figuring out what the part is, and where it's supposed to go.

Looks like a return line fitting on a mini truck steering gearbox

That's the Johnson rod. It connects to the rotary girder.

I believe that's a standoff that goes on the manifold for vacuum line.

 

[under_psi]

yes agree. vacuum nipple......unless its for fuel....

Ok team. I need help figuring out what the part is, and where it's supposed to go. Pretty sure it goes underneath a valve cover bolt, but not sure...

That's either a full line retainer or the retainer meant for the vacuum hose on the PCV. My non-educated guess anyway.

 

[MScruiser]

Maybe, but where would it go if it were the fuel line retainer?
