What is this?

Need some help. I’m rebuilding my first motor it’s a 351m out of a 1979 F-250. I guess I forgot to take enough pictures and can’t remember what this is or where it goes. Anybody have an idea?

lol, that reminds me of an argument I had with a buddy, funny story. He had a 351M that he could never get running after a rebuild and I told him to check the cam eccentric since we could never get fuel to the carb, even after trying 3 different fuel pumps. He argued that the fuel pump was cam shaft driven, I argued that it was not. After he finally pulled the timing cover off to prove me wrong we noticed the eccentric wasn't in there. I guess technically we were both right.
