    Looks like just a right angle drive, some older speedometers had them.

    That is a flux capacitor that's hooked to the transmission to activate the rest of the system at 88 MPH.

    I have a couple of them kicking around, I think they are part of the old tach drive of the distributor.

    Old Stewart-Warners from 30's and 40's had these angle adapters right at the backside of the tach or speedo. Many times they are removed and the poor next owner of the tach or speedo needs to round one up before he can use his purchase. If you don't need it, list it in the cl***ifieds and I'm sure you could get $25 for it.
