Wondering what this piece actually does?

 

 

 

In the middle of a engine swap and wondering if I can relocate it or remove. Probably not remove but I'd like to know what it does exactly first...

 

 

 

Hill holder, it locks pressure in the lines when you are on a hill to allow you to operate clutch and gas and not have to worry about the brakes. It was an innovative feature, you can keep it or replace it with a simple union as you see fit.

 

-Also, it is missing a cable it needs to operate.

Ok great thanks!

Cable hooks to clutch fork. Nice ej22t project. Keep the pics coming and data on harness and exhaust routing. Looking at that mod next summer on my 86!

Are you making your own adapter plate?

Excited to see the finished product...
