Flame trap maybe? Where do the pipes go to/from?

What u have your hand on is a Fuel Trap and mounted vertically on the block via the bracket, I don't know that matters but IIRC the right angle end is up the top, and as for the hoses IIRC one goes to the dizzy the other to the left hand carb (N/S when it left the factory.).
But if things are running ok with out it fitted etc etc but u may have to plug a couple of holes.

Don't think I'm wrong but I'm going back to when I fitted carb V8 into Capri
