Basically, it blocks the vacuum signal to the vacuum retard module, when the
engine starts to overheat.  One port has a line to the vacuum retard module
on the distributor, another has a line to the carb port (under the rear carb
as I recall), and the third (if present) is left open to the air.

Here's a factory blurb with a photo & more details:
