Another, WHAT IS THIS??

In the center of the pic is my charcoal canister....but what is that thing to the upper right of it?

You can see the small vacuum line going to it, and just before the line crosses over the charcoal canister there is a T fitting and another line goes down the side of the front fender and disappears underneath.

There is also a bigger hose coming out of this mystery thing, and then out of that bigger hose is that electrical connector you see laying on top of the mystery box.

So my question obviously is what is this thing, and also where does that other vacuum line go that disappears down the side? And what plugs into that electrical connector

Thanks

Yeah, cruise control. The other vacuum line diving down the side goes to the vacuum reservoir.
