Default Can anyone name this part?
I found this sitting on top of the splash shield in front of the engine. It has a number of D-178 on it. I do not see anything white that this could have fallen off of. The car seems to run fine without it. Does anyone know what it is?

Looks like a flux capacitor. I think that adds like eleventy-billion hp and 3 ft/lbs of tq.

Looks like something that was jimmy rigged (no offense to jimmy) in there to hold something together... "/

agreed, its part of the triple darlington sensitivity node off the flux capacitor. Do you feel a loss in power at all?

Yeah man, that's just something that bounced up off the road and somehow made it's way on the pan. It's not part of the car, your good.

No, no loss of power. At least not since my left handed smoke shifter fell off my exhaust.

Thanks for the replies.
