I don't mean to hijack Mike's thread but what is that for? That is the first time I have seen one of them.

It amplifies the vacum to the EGR valve that bolts to spacer plate under carb.  Fred   :)

I have never seen this thing either. How vital is it to a functioning EGR system?

All 3 of my 74's have, no 73 or 78 so it must be a 74 item.  Fred   :)
