When I removed oil pan to reseal it, this bushing/spacer/washer fell out and I have no idea where it goes. This is a 1949 engine.

Size is approximately 1/2" to the outside 5/16" on the inside and 1/4" thick. see pics

Any ideas?
thanks 49nut

That bushing goes under the throttle return spring bottom mount/clip. It holds the mount so it clears the outer flange on the pan. There should have also been a longer pan bolt at that position.


See the USA in your vintage Chevrolet!

I never knew such a bird existed! Now I understand why I have always wrassled with getting the spring to go in the hole in that mount/clip.
I'll bet a lot of them got misplaced the same way 49nut almost did.
