250 I6 what is this threaded hole for?

I was checking my fluids on my truck today and noticed this threaded hole next to the valve cover and i was wondering, what is supposed to be there?

And nevermind that oil leak... its slowing down the rust lol

Is that on the front of rear of the block? I would think its a bolt hole for a bracket.

Sorry I should have specified.
That is the front driver side of the block

Could be for a power steering pump bracket.

Thanks!
I was just curious. Never really noticed it before and was hoping I wasn't missing anything.
