What is this part?

Tonight we stripped down my 350 to get cleaned for painting it and we came acrossed this part. I was wondering what it is and what does it do?

it mounts just to the left of the white tape towards the bottom of the picture. oh it is off a 350 fuel injected.

Looks like an EGR to me.

Or, the flux capacitor

Re: What is this part?

EGR valve- exhaust gas recirculation. It helps clean up emissions & control pinging by re- burning a small amount of exhaust gases. If you take it off your TBI motor (by installing a block off plate) it will cause the check engine light to come on. You would need a custom burned chip to keep the light out. I'd reccomend leaving it functional.
