Default First dumb question (more to follow)

I told you guys that I know nothing about my car (I don't even suspect any thing). On the front of the tuned port is the throttle body that says: Accel 1000,What does that mean? I assume it has to do with the air intake,Should it be changed to something else? I would appreciate it if you would bear with me untill I get into the 20th century.

Sounds like aftermarket Accel 1000 F.I.
Could tell w/ a pic.
No, do not think of changing, you need complete setup to even start thinking of changes.
