The best I can offer on the 1956 and later 235s is this: Please look at the image below with two holes. One of these travels straight through to a water jacket. It must have a screw in it (sealed with gasket sealer) and over time that screw can and will rust given enough time if you don't use anti-freeze or some rust inhibitor). The other hole doesn't travel through but dead ends. Now please look at the other image. In that image are some little colored arrows. The black arrow is the rod connecting to your gas pedal. It connects to the pivot piece as shown with a small cotter pin and the eye of that cotter pin holds a small spring which goes back to the screw in the hole which dead ends. The yellow arrow points to the rod which connects the pivoting piece to the carburetor throttle point and on that rod there is a piece of metal with a hole in it. Another spring connects to this hole and originally went down and connected to a piece which was held in place by one of the oil pan bolts. In my life I have only seen 1 of these pieces intact, so just hook it over the lip edge of your pan and you'll be ok. I'm assuming your little piece is gone like the the other 99% of them. The 2 green arrows show the 2 springs...one of which is just barely visible. And there is another image showing that spring ... but just barely. If you strain your eyes you may be able to see where it connects to the rod (and as I said it will drop down and hook on the lip edge of the oil pan). Good luck.
