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.
