it looks like an aftermarket cruise control unit. the oem unit has a bracket attatched to it for mounting purposes and the end of the cable where it hooks onto the carb is different than what yours is showing. the oem unit's end will be horizontal where yours is vertical.

Yup, that does look to be a cruise control vacuum canister. (Almost) Same as the one on my SE, however, I do have the switches for it. When you followed the wiring, did it lead into the cabin of the car?

yeah the wires did go through the engine bay and that stock one looks totaly different! it does have a mounting bracket but it mounted onto the other side from the stock one. thanks again for the help guys. btw those silver rx-7's look awsome.
