Hard to tell, but it kinda looks like a cruize control servo. Does it have vacuum lines going to it? OR a cable to the throttle on the carb?

I do try.

Looks like an aftermarket cruise set-up...sure doesn't look factory at all.

Most of the factory solenoids were mounted at the DS rear of the intake manifold.
