    On my '78 US spec 308 i found this. It looks like a microswitch which looks to be operated by losing the trottle. The wiring is attached to one distributor but i cannot find it in the wiring diagram.

    btw, my envoirnemetal stuff is all gone, is this some left over?

    I believe that is the switch that causes the R2 points to kick in at idle. The second set of points come on board to retard by 5 degrees. More fun emissions stuff. Many folks ditch them so there are only one set of points working.

    thanx,
    i have only one set of points ( I mean one in each distributor) Does this mean I can remove it without any consequences?

    Yes -- the throttle microswitch controlling the R2 point operation is item 107 on the schematic in the 150/78 N.A. (US) 308GTB/GTS OM.
