My 79 had one of these on it so I'd assume the standard catalogs have them
in it as standard equipment. It's also called a gulp valve. When I
recently replaced my Zenith Stromberg with a Weber DGV I removed the gulp
valve since there was no place on the inlet manifold to tie it into and I
didn't feel like drilling. So far I've noticed no backfiring.
