Sure would help if you gave us a clue which engine you have???
On CIS cars, that is the Thermo-Time Switch for the Cold-Start circuit. Other cars just leave the plug in the chain cover in place.

 Thanks! You guys are really FAST!Early_S_Man: Uh, sorry about that  . It's a 75 CIS that's being converted to carbs (after overhaul) and finding a home in my 914.Doug Zielke: A used '75 CIS setup?  Since I won't be using CIS, I guess I'll leave it off. BTW, the chain tensioners are insanely easy to install with the egine out of the car. |

The thermo-time switch triggers the cold start injection valve (injects extra fuel into the intake rail ONLY while cranking and ONLY when cold). You won't need it on a carb conversion.
