What's the part on top of my 4.3 that hooks all the coolant hoses together?

[Unseenthings]

Purchased a boat with a disasembled 4.3, friend got it put back together and says I'm missing the 5-1 hose connector for cooling? What is this called and where do I find it. If I'm way off base I'll go take picture tomarrow. Also need help hooking the wiring up, mainly the distributor.
Thanks

go to the "adults only" and see if you can get a manual. If not someone here might have a diagram.
