Re: What is it ?

Re: What is it ?
It's an emission part, It went inline in the vacuum line to the distributer, I believe it retarded the timing to keep the engine from dieseling when shutting it off.

Re: What is it ?
Thanks guys, It was hooked up with my old carb, vacuum lines and all. The new carb vacuum lines I ran direct to the distrubutor and pcv valve, then plugged all others. Now I just have to find where the wires come from so I can eleminate them.

Re: What is it ?
People that like to guess should tell you they are guessing. It is a selenoid that controles the vacume advance on vehicles with transmision controled spark. It would also alow vacume advance if the engine started running too hot.

Re: What is it ?
I believe thats part of the TCS, transmission controlled spark system - a smog control. The vast majority of these I've seen referred to on the board were disconnected at some point in the distant past, including mine.
Those wires should run to a TCS relay under the dash by the fuse block.
