If you mean the curved tubes at the end of the rocker shaft in the stanchion, it goes in the rear on the drivers side, front at the passenger side.

Before you put them on, cut off the just up from the end far enough to make a square cut. Debur the hole, and tap to 12-24. The ID is correct for that tap. Find two 1/2 to 3/4 long screws, cheap soft ones are best. Drill a 1/16 hole all the way through. Debur. Put one drop of lock tight on the threads and screw them in. This will peasurize the rocker shafts so the rocker arm on the left gets as much oil as the ones on the right. There needs to be oil comming out that tube flowing to the pushrod hole. The left head oils the distributor gear, the right head oils the timing chain.

well thank you -- i'll do it -- when they arrive -- this cuts the oil bypass down to approx. 1/4 the amount then if i read this right leaving more in the rocker shaft to go out to the rockers.
