Connecting Rod
A connecting rod linking piston to crankshaft in the engine bottom end, cataloged 1966-1969 under 70-4001T (also E4001T).
This is a connecting rod, the part that links the piston to the crankshaft inside the bottom end of the engine. It shows up in the CRANKSHAFT AND CONNECTING RODS section of the parts book, so it's a bottom-end component through and through, carrying the up-and-down motion of the piston into the rotating crank.

The part number 70-4001T is the modern form; you'll also see it listed as E4001T in older catalogs, which is the same physical rod under the earlier letter-prefix numbering. Catalog rows for this one span 1966 through 1969, so it turns up across several years of appearances in the books we have.
If you're rebuilding a bottom end, this is one to check closely for wear at the big end and small end bores before reusing it. Bring your engine number down to the shop or give us a call and we'll help confirm this is the right rod for your motor before you order.
