Intake manifold install ???

So, I picked today to install my Edelbrock intake. Yes, the old one is heavy, but it's out. My dilemma is that the nipple for the water pump bypass (I think that's it) is not on the manifold. Summit is closed today. Has anyone had to install this nipple? If so, what did you do?

Yeah, there should have been a new one with the intake manifold. It's not installed, it's loose in the box.
I coated the end of it with No 2 Permatex and tapped it in with a hammer.

Thanks for the replies. I checked Edelbrock's site and yes, it should have been included. Bummer. Looks like the Q is going to start early today (ribeyes should take some of the agony away)
