351w part identification

Can anyone tell me what this tube is called?
the one with the holes. This is on the back side of a 1995 F250 with a 351w.

Air injection manifold. Smog pump pumps into it and it connects to the cylinder head which distributes the air to the exhaust.

It is part of the Thermactor system, if looking for the technical name.

yeah, mine did that, too.

And of course, the ends are rusted solidly into the head.

It's not much fun to get to, is it?

FWIW, if anyone needs one of those factory 'across the rear of the engine' 351W AIR tubes, I have one that I'll never use (I had bought it for my 351W-based stroker, but never needed). NOS, never used. PM me. $20 + actual shipping and it is yours!
