Default dohc zc swap question - what is this part?

I bought my DOHC ZC and we have it almost fully installed in my EF, but there is a part that comes off the left side of the head, right infront of the distributor with TEK writtin on it. What is this?

I sent my old wiring harness off to rywire and they modified it and sent it back, but there is nothing on the harness that fits this unknown part.

I attached a picture and circled the part. Any help would be loverly.

actually i think i found it. and this is what you do to wire it. please somebody confirm this to me.

--------------

On my car I had to do a little basic wiring. On the Si distributor there is a 7 wire plug on the wiring harness, but only 5 plug connector on the ZC distributor, and there is a sensor on the exhaust cam, which is the cam angle sensor, that has no where to plug into. So this is what you do:

1.The Civic wiring on the distributor has an 8 pin connector and a 2 pin connector. The 2 pin connector from the Civic wiring harness will connect to the ZC disributor.

2. Pop out the 8 pin connector off the Civic engine wiring harness

3.This will expose 7 wires.

Orange/Blue stripe

White/Blue stripe

Blue/Yellow stripe

Blue/Green stripe

4. Pop the pins out of the square ZC plug, This will expose 5 wires.

White/Thick

White/Thin

Orange

Orange/Blue stripe

White/Blue stripe

5.Now you simply place the five pins in the square harness and get rid of the round Civic one.

6.You now have two extra wires which are Blue/Yellow and Blue/Green

7. These two wires go to the green plug on the crank angle sensor which comes off the exhaust cam. You’ll need to splice the wires, but make sure to use bullet connectors. If you don’t you will lose to much power through the connection and the computer may throw a code.
