[Healeys] Healeys BN7 on ebay

[Rick]

That is a temperature sensor for the automatic choke device that was 
installed on the early production of the 3000. The automatic choke 
device was attached to the rear carburetor (as I recall) and was similar 
to the unit used by XK Jaguars of the period. It proved somewhat 
unreliable and the cars returned to manual chokes after about 6 months.

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?
