I ran across something similar when rebuilding my carb on a SA-- It's probably an emissions solenoid of some sort. Use the plug shape and the wire color to identify it in the wiring diagram.

I don't recognize that as a stock part. Due to it's size, I'd venture a guess that it's a fuel pump. Where did you find it?

If that's the part I'm thinkiing of, the stock 79/80 unit looks a bit different (chromated sheetmetal solenoid housing with a black plastic valve assembly.)

Here's mine (I painted it); 80 SA CA ratsnest.



I wonder if that's not a late equivalent substitution when the original parts went LNA?

that looks very similar, maybe I'll find the female connector down that way, but then again yours is a California mines everywhere else and yours is 80 mine is 79, though I'm sure very little changed.
