(Assuming you are talking about a 116 or 117 gas V8) It's called a 'sensor plate'. I believe it's function is to control incoming air input to the intake manifold. It is NOT a throttle plate.

It does not control the air, it measures it. "Fuel distributor" means K-jet, which means that you have a sensor plate.

As more enters the engine (throttle opening or RPM increasing), the plate forces a piston in the fuel distributor. That increases the fuel quantity delivered to the injectors. That's the very short explanation.
