Cruise control vac actuator valve. It's what holds your throttle linkage in place when you set the cruise.

I gotta ask. Too many suburbans? Is that even a thing? Lol. It wouldn't be for me until I had to get rid of a Suburban to get another Suburban because of space. Plus they double as dry storage, sometimes.

Jawzjeep,
Could you post a pic of your truck’s cruise control linkage connection that is under the air filter, attached to the carb’s throttle body linkage?
That’s my last piece of the puzzle for my cruise control.

Thank you.
Do you have a pic of the connection bracket to the carb where the cc actuation rod makes contact with the throttle linkage?

I don't. I never used mine. It's just a little pin like how the throttle cable would attach. The hook goes on the actuator and the slide part goes over that pin. So when the throttle actuates, the cruise pod doesn't interfere with the linkage, except when engaged.

Gotcha.
I’ve seen a couple ‘vague’ pics of that pin assembly.
