The Lambda tower is a metal tube that sits between the air meter intake and the fuel distributor. It lines up with the grommeted hole on top of your air cleaner housing. If it has a metal BB lodged in it, then it has never been monkeyed with. If the BB is missing, or the top of the tower sawed off, then it has.
