That is the heat switch for the EGR. It goes down somewhere behind the engine.

Look for a Grn wire that disappears down behind the right side of the dist.

The connector is on the left side of the dist very near the large harness running across the top of the bell housing behind and below the intake base. The wire lead is so short that it's almost impossible to get at it with the base on the engine.

If you ever have the intake base off I think a very good mod is to cut off that connector, splice a length of Grn wire to the stub and run the connector the connector up to the right side of the dist where you will have easy access when you need to change the EGR Temp Sensor.

You should be able to get to it if you pull the cap off the distributor. Having that out of the way will open up enough room to get to it.
