My guess would be a fuel pressure regulator, the top bit looks like a vacume take for the manifold so the pressure is adjusted with higher vac...
Just a guess though!...

It's a vapour separator and has a return to the tank. You don't need it

Yup, that's the vapour separator, ISTR you're meant to mount in the bin at the same angle as it was in the sierra

Original setup would have been pipe from tank to mechanical pump on engine, from pump to separator, from separator to carb. The third connection on
the separator would have gone back to the tank.
I have ditched the separator, I feed straight from the pump to the carb and then take a return from the carb to the tank (my carb already had a
tee-piece with a restrictor allowing flow back to the tank although this was blocked off on the original setup).
As it happens I have also ditched the mechanical pump and use an electric one - I wish I could remember the make and model, as it has a discharge
pressure suitable for feeding stright to carbs without a regulator.
