That is a disconnected thermostat for the thermochoke model. It was wired to
an auxillary carb. The thermostats were quite unreliable I have been told as
this shorts out over time. I hot wired mine to a switch and made it a
manually-controlled-electrically-activated choke. Worked quite well.

Subject: [Healeys] BN7 on Ebay
Hi All,
I know Healeys pretty well, but surely don?t know everything about them. Maybe
I just don?t know the earlier 6 cylinder cars, but this has me stumped. there?s
a listing for a 1960 BN7 on Ebay. While viewing the shot if the engine, I see
something that I can?t identify. Mounted to the head by 3 screws is a triangle
shaped component with something protruding up from the middle. It is right next
to the thermostat housing. What is that?
Thanks,
Dave
