Looks like a MAP sensor.Manifold absolute pressure. One of the EFI controls.

Thanks for the correction Gary. Must have been in lala land after getting worn out from weed wacking.

It's an essential part on EFI trucks, speed density and MAF (though it has a different function on the latter). It was also used on trucks with computer controlled ignition and feedback carbs.
