dunno what this is...

Too dark to take a picture, if nobody knows by tomorrow I'll throw one up...

What is the name and function of a little module that sits on a bracket underneath the ignition coil, has two wires running out of it, and two vacuum lines going in from somewhere under the plenum? I mounted mine upside-down for clearance so I could loosen the distributor hold-down nut and set timing. It looked to be in pretty rough shape and probably is a vacuum leak, I'm curious to know if it is something I can safely get rid of or should be replacing instead.

Thanks, no emissions here (Alberta) but I'll leave it in until I know it's a problem.

Hello el_muerte!!

If you remove it, be prepared to have your "SES" light stay on, as it will trigger a code 32!!!
