Intake heat stove. It mounts to the passenger side exhaust manifold and uses a piece of flex tubing to introduce warmed air into the snorkel on the air cleaner.

That above pic looks to be from a early Bronco (66-77) with a 302. Looks like you have part # 9A603. And yes Cleatus12r is correct on its function.

If it gets cold there you would benefit having it. Warms up much faster in cold and helps carb icing. If you live where it barely freezes or maybe teens, then likely will not miss it. If you plan on seeing 0 to -40*f you will have inhibited operation.

Except for if it is from an early Bronco, someone is looking for that and will spend a bunch of money to get it.
