That is the solenoid that routes vacuum to the distributor to advance only when the car is in high gear or when the temp sensor in the block reached I believe 200-210 and you needed advance to cool the engine. Part of the emission equipment for the 73 model year. The wires are to apply 12 volts when one of the two conditions were met.
follow the routing of the vacuum lines from the back base of the carb to the solenoid to the distributor. Probably still works but the question is -- do you want it?
Oh, BTW that is a clean looking block with all in place for the year.
