WTH is this that just fell out of my /6?!

Looks like something from a carburetor. Can you take a few more pics. What type of a motor is it out of?

Interesting, I guess if anything, that's what it looks like. stock '72 225 /6, 1 barrel.

Here's each end. Not the best pics, but there's really not much to the thing. No hidden detail that you can't see in the pics.
