It's on ebay right now. One of the guys on the Buick forum asked him what it is. He replied that he has no idea, it was on the car when he bought it!!!
The thread on the Buick forum is pretty funny, all the guys claiming to know the secret to what it is!

Aw heck, I'll just repost it. Not the worst repost ever!!
they stopped production on that. after thousands of real world tests, thay came to the conclusion that an automatic transmission acheived the same results. and could be bought for a lot less money. the only known entabulaters still being used, are owned by the government, as they bought so many.
I've read about those but thought they were only a rumour.
Its a combination Postive Crankcase Ventilation system direct-coupled to the Exhaust Gas Recirculation. The large end piece (someone called it a microphone) actually amplifies the hydrocarbon molecules emitted from the pressurized crankcase before introducing them back into the unfiltered, turbulent atmosphere in the engine compartment where they are picked up by scant intake vacuum. The connection to the exhaust manifold contains the bifurcating flitter valve that was truly the heart of the design and provides the heat required to atomize the long chain saturated hydrocarbons.
They work best with high-clearance piston rings, a very large cylinder taper, cold eutectic pistons and a proprietary catalyst of 80 proof, high-octane ethanol to be applied intravenously to the operator.
Reports suggest they were capable of producing more than 100 miles per gallon with virtually no emissions.
Unfortunately, there were only a few protoypes produced before Big Oil companies bought the patents and buried the whole project.
