What's this part?
While trying to get my tranny out I noticed another part that wasn't hooked up properly (Bubba thought he was an electrician). It was under the distributor with one wire going to the distributor and another going into a bundle of wires. The piece itself was a metal cylinder about 1.5 inches long and about a half inch diameter. It has a flange that comes off of it with a spot to bolt it down (the ground for the circuit). There is a spot on my intake manifold where something should be bolted down but nothing is right next to where this was. It had these numbers on it:
348784
648
Appearing just like that, those on top and the three on the bottom. I think it is my tach filter because my tach bounces and this not being connected would explain it.

It is a tachometer noise filter. Should be a wire from the "tach" port on the distributor, through the noise filter (which mounts with a bracket to the manifold) and then to the firewall.

Stupid Bubba. He also installed a cassette player that when on, will randomly blow a fuse killing my guages, power windows, and the like. Go Bubba! I wish he would have messed with the mechanical parts because that I can fix. I hate electrical work.

Bubba may have disconnected the tach filter because it was going bad. Here's a link to a cheap replacement: http://www.rodneydickman.com/retail.html
