It's a crankcase breather chamber, part number 17271-371-000. It's to take crankcase blow-by gases, filter the oil mist out, and then release the harmful pollutants into the atmosphere, as was done in 1976.
There should be a small filter with two screens inside of it.

Haaaa. I'll investigate. But someone has put a nasty aftermarket filter on the other side.
Like on the breather pipe near the timing inspection hole.
