Re: What is this part?

I am betting there are 2 vaccuum hose nipples on it. It looks like a thermal valve that closes the snorkle to draw heated air up from a tube that is close to the exhaut manifold.

Is was this a California truck?

Re: What is this part?

You would only need it if you are using a thermostatic air cleaner with the tube going to the exhaust manifold. If you are using a chrome open element air cleaner you don't need it.

Re: What is this part?

I will be using a stock style air cleaner but I have headers,no exaust manifold.The engine is original 69 307 but the air cleaner was bought on parts board{72 I think}.I am going to omit the part.Thanks.
