Identify this for me?

Can you all tell me what this is? 1979 Impala 305.



Looks like a cruise control servo/actuator? The cable would hook up to the carb, with the throttle cable. I’m guessing.

That would make sense thank you!

No problem! If you still have the cable, it should snap right onto the carb throttle linkage. Just double-check the connections.

@Valentine
Good to know! I’ll have a look and see if I can get it connected properly.

Agreed. That’s the old school cruise control stuff. There should be a spot on the accelerator linkage by the carb or throttle body where it snaps on or perhaps a short cable at the same spot.

Thanks for confirming! Do you think it’s easy to reinstall if the cable is missing?

@Oakley
Yeah, shouldn’t be too difficult if you can find a replacement cable. Might need to visit a salvage yard or search online for parts. Make sure it’s the right length though!

Sounds good, I’ll look into getting a replacement. Appreciate the advice!
