part identity help from engine

About 4 6 months ago I started taking the engine parts off (92 F150 5.0L) to fix the crossover tube on the fuel rail. A long hospital stay and recovery explains why this took so long.

I got a new fuel line to connect the two rails; and I'm starting to put the engine pieces back. There's one part that was mixed in with the tools and I don't recognize it. Before I put everything back and then have to pull it apart again can anyone tell me what this is?

The current status:

Does not look like anything I have removed from a 302.

Does not look familiar at all.
A cylinder, with male threads on one end, female on the other, with a cross-hole through it. Are you sure it isn't some adapter for some tool you have?

I have a brass adapter I use on my Fuel Pressure test gauge, that changes sizes on the fuel rail test port, to adapt the Ford test rail to the test gauge hose fitting. It doesn't have a cross-hole through the side of it, though.

Isn't that a thread checker tool? It has the same thread, one side is male, the other side is female. And it's usually on a ring or bead chain with a dozen other thread checkers.

Looks like a blow gun tip that someone accidentally dropped in the engine bay.

Holy cow! We have a winner. I don't understand why -- must have been really tired.

Now I can quite worrying and get this put back together
