What Is This Called

My Dad called and he has a question on his 88 f250. on the drivers side of the injector pump there is a part that bolts on and has two vacuum lines going to it.

what is this part called
what does it do?

I looked in my book and you can see pics of it in the haynes manual but no discription.
thanks for the help.

Sounds like a VRV(Vacuum Regulator Valve) to me. Does the truck have a C6?

if it opperates off of the throttle lever it is a vacuum regulator valve and controls the shift points for the trans (c-6); unless some one put a standard in and left the controll or else installed an injection pump off of an automatic truck

yes it is an auto and my dad thought it did something for the shifting just did not know what to call it when he went to the parts store. the guys at the part stores sometimes give old guys a trouble.

Thanks for all you help.

Every part store I went to either said the part didn't exist or I was wrong about what it was. Showing it to them didn't help either.

The guy at the Ford dealer by my house know exactly what I was looking for without looking at the computer.
