If that is your temperature guage sensor line that runs from the temperature guage to your engine block..(I see that the engine is missing but look for that sensor line..They may have taken it out of the block in one piece..)It is a mercury filled sensor bulb and if you are lucky it will be in one piece...with the bulb still intact...DO NOT CUT THIS LINE to remove it..or else ,not withstanding environmentally bad mercury things,that will be the end of the temperature guage...and don't heat it with a torch...that too will destroy it...
There is a section in the manuals on the care and feeding of this beast..
Not in the Ford manuals, there won't be. Ford used an electric temp sender, while Chev used the Bulb and tube type.
