I believe that is your cooling fan relay. I have an 87 that was carb and that is where mine is. But the other guy wasnt far off, That is where they mount the elec fuel pump relay. And my car has both mechanical and electric fuel pump. It was only in 87 with carb that they put both.

Well, thats where the F/P relay is for FI cars, you never said if it was a converted carb or factory.
