TVS
Transmission Vacuum Switch. Used to supply vacuum to the vac pot on the distributor only in high gear. A ground switch on the tranny made it work. |

Re: Gadgets by carburetor
Here is another one behind the carb. It's not "plugged" up either.

Re: Gadgets by carburetor
Two guesses!!
Turbo 400 kickdown switch. Or a high idle solenoid for a/c. Your truck have either a/c or a turbo 400? |

Re: Gadgets by carburetor
On the linkage, that's a dash pot. It's adjusted so when activated it stops the carb from going down all the way to idle. It works for just a second or two when you completely let off the gas, helps to keep it from stalling. Hope that makes sense. You can probably google dash pot or dashpot to get a better explanation.
