it only came on sports and early 1300s. it controls the idle although the car will run with it disconnected if you take off the vacuum adavance aswell.

Thats your buffle valve control unit, you need that prevent the buffle valve from discombobulating lol

[Bubba]

is it similair to the foofoo valve in newer cars?

[Spudly]

No theyre more like the EGR flange regulatoriser lol

[grooge]

the later sr wiring loom is different. so it is only of use if the buyer has an early loom.

Its an idle control unit, likely its broke anyway, they usually are.
They were fitted to the 13SB engine upto about 1986 when they binned it as I dont think it did a great deal anyway.
