I "believe" the spring was to keep the cowl vent SHUT tight so it would not leak. My 37 chevy had one. Hooked to the vent handle assembly and the lip thats the bottom of the dash. I lost my spring and have not ever looked for another one..... and the vent does not stay close tight!!

I'm not even sure the 37 came from the factory with one but it sure looks like it did.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
