I was just wondering what that thing is in the red circle?

I was surfing Ebay and found this picture of an intake and well I never really noticed this part before and I just kind of wonder what it does.

Looks like a cold start injector from what I can tell but I could be wrong.

yup, it's a cold start injector. It's actually on the back of the intake and is used on startup to richen the mixture. Fuel Injection's version of a choke.

My '88 has it. I think they went away with the switch over to speed density in '90.
