    I'm wondering what this threaded port is for on a SB aftermarket water pump?

    The bypass hose already goes onto the back of the timing cover.

    Purchased a new one from Rock Auto last year and it came with a plug.

    Think Buick Marine motor...

    Other than that It would be a great tap for a 24070 filter..
