It's part of a center mounted single carb conversion that was sold in 
the 70s. The kit included the carb, a replacement for the FI intake 
air distributor to mount the carb on top, and the plastic box that 
you describe. I don't think these were very good setups, but someone 
out there might want the plastic box if theirs is missing.

If you don't need its extra clearance any more, then you're better 
off without it.
