What's the purpose or significance of the spring looking thing pictured below? It's on one end of the floor starter linkage on my '52. Haven't found it on suppliers' websites and don't know what it's called or if I need one for the other side.
No problems with it, linkage and all works fine. The reason it's out is from pulling the 216 to prep for rebuilt 235 installation.
