Hard to say. If you can attach a picture we might be able to help.

As a WAG, it is possibly the horn or maybe a vapor cannister. As stated prior, without seeing the part, it is just a Wild A-- Guess.

Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds

like way to old said i believe its a vapor canister. it should have a couple vacuum lines attached to it. If thats the only thing damaged, car could not be starting due the big vacuum leak.
