Keith:
Can that be the fuel cutoff inertia switch for when your B goes belly up?
You can remove it and run the fuel line directly to your filter with no
problem unless you desire originality. Just don't flip the B! If it's a 79
then it has about the same lack of power as my 80 LE so there is little
chance of too much power in a turn! If you really want one I probably have
a spare.
