This is the first time that I've been asked for one of these, this throttle damper is fitted to the automatic gearbox variant of the Opel Manta A series.
It is located adjacent to the throttle quadrant (which translates the pull of the accelerator cable into the twisting of the carburettor butterfly). I presume that the function of the throttle damper is to moderate sudden changes of throttle opening and give the automatic transmission a chance to engage kick down.
It was covered in engine grime, but 10 minutes work with a toothbrush and some white spirit, revealed what was lurking underneath.
