That's the proportioning valve; it should only have one pair of wires going to it (brake warning switch). You can see those coming out to the right; they're encased in a protective sleeve.

Yours doesn't seem to have all the brake lines running out like it should. I only see the line for the rear drums and it doesn't look right either.
