Yeah, that's the booger, alright. I'm hoping I can get one nearby, I
doubt it'll be too hard, the thing is built like a piece of ----; they
must break all the time.

Well, at this point, I believe I'll just ignore the problem... $50 at
the dealer for something that'll break before my next smog check
anyway. I'll let them replace it, if they notice. He seems to run fine
with the crack, anyway, so what the hell.

The crack will/could affect the timing vacuum. Maybe use some RTV or JB
weld to seal it up or just take it out of the system and run the vacuum
lines direct and put up with a bit of chugging when it is cold. By the
time you have heat inside, the valve is open anyway.

Re: Help! Name that part!
 

Actually, that is a heat activated vacuum switch. There is a smog part
somewhere that kicks into action when the heat rises to a certain level. The
vacuum source is the intake manifold, and there is some kind of load
somewhere that turns on, or off, when the heat rises.
