DUMBELL, it goes in the back of the block. It is what makes the motor have oil pressure.

It is behind the rear cover on the drivers side bottom corner just above the block skirt/oil pan. It is the main oil galley plug and if it's not in there you will have zero oil pressure. The side with the o-ring faces out.
