That is your sub-zero assist fluid reservoir. Basically a 90/10 mix of antifreeze and water, it's injected into the carb to help the motor start in sub-zero temperatures. Most people don't bother with it, I've never needed it to start my car in extreme cold.

seeing that it is a 79, you shoudl remove that along with all your emissions, now that it is 25 yrs old emissions should be exempt. I have a 79 as well as an 85. I know what I am doing with emissions stuff, so trust me, start gutting it all.
