Re: Mystery part identification

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

This would be the mileage counter box for your OXS light in the instrument 
cluster. The brownish cables going into this box are your speedometer 
cables. One end goes to the trans. and one end goes to the speedometer. The 
hole that you infer to be plugs are actually button holes. The one that says 
OXS by it is for resetting the light on the dash. The other one is not used 
unless you have an EGR light also on your dash.
