Default Want bolts on to the block beneath the distributor??

Anyone remember what bolts onto the righthand side of the block beneath the dizzy? Looks like something is driven from the same drive as the dizzy but I cant for the life of me think what it would be. (the block was minus the item when I originally bought it).

Cheers!

Assuming it's the cossie cortina, all the dizzy drives is itself and the rod out the base of the dizzy drives the oil pump down below.
There may be a blanking plate held with a 1/2" bolt top and bottom, this was to power a mechanical fuel pump on carbed 205's etc, I think irrc this plate would normally be concelled by the power sterring pump brackets on the cossie.

The blanking plate from any non car pinto engine will fit, or just make one and use some sealant, there's no pressure as such there just a drip feed from above so will be fine.
