It's the tube for the bypass hose. A straight piece of 5/8" heater hose fits on this tube and goes to a similar tube on the waterpump.
That manifold on ebay is from a 1964/66 T-Bird

The same FE waterpump was used on cars and trucks, from 1965 thru 1976 = D4TZ-8501-H
The same 5/8" metal tube (cut to fit) was used 65/76 in the above waterpumps = C5AZ-8555-A

The hose makes a 90% bend from water pump to manifold. Get a formed one from a parts store. I concur with Bill that ya definitely need it.

I look at it this way, if you bid on it you bought it. Even if you don't use it in the end it is a training aid in two ways. 1 Don't bid unless you know what your looking at. 2 The cast iron is pretty much the same as those on a head so you can use it to pratice port work on.

Also that's a 64 intake and a lowriser. What kind of heads are you using? If your running C8/68 or later heads there will be a intake port mismatch. If you have 67 or earlier heads you'll be ok. Even with the port mismatch it'll run fine but it is not the best combination for performance. Not a bad deal with the carb. Shipping could be the breaker.
