Yes,
that's the heater core outlet, Paul. I've come across a few fittings which are
"push fit" like that. (oil filler cap, turbo water input/output, etc. etc.)
Input I'm getting says that the push fit fittings are fine, but they make
me a bit uncomfortable too. I'd be interested in anyone elses opinion about
this.
As for
what to do with it, I had a small one like this. I had a small plate welded on
the end to seal it, then hammered it back in.
Any
suggestions for a better way would be welcome.

Hi....it's the pest again....Paul Conner.
My 13b was going to be mounted plugs up by the original owner, so he had this
radiator cap with all it's plumbing inserted into the hole in the picture,
near the oil filter. When I attempted to unscrew it, it came out easily,
and I found that it was not threaded, but instead it was just pushed in the
hole. Probably wouldn't have stayed there very long. Any idea what this
hole is/was for? (obviously water, but to where might it have gone.....heater
core)? Lastly, to plug this hole, should I attempt to tap it with
a NPT tap, or is there something that is a press fit that I should purchase to
plug this hole? Thanks again for everyone's patience. I'm
hoping to get this thing running shortly, but need to address these pesky
little inconveniences. The first picture shows what was inserted into the
hole, and the second picture shows where the hole is located. Paul
Conner, endless 13b hole-plugging.
