There are 3 threaded holes next to the distributor.2 are parellel with each other.That bracket goes there with the hole sticking up for the spring facing  the distributor side.The bolts are just standard hardware 5/16 by 3/4 long I believe.The spring goes straight up and hooks to an arm off the bellcrank bolted on the intake manifold.The other hole next to where this bracket goes is for the bracket that hangs down for your wires to go through on the way around the block under the exhaust manifolds.If you dont have that bracket the 4 brackets and rubber insulators for the wires are available from any of the usual suppliers for about $25.00 for complete kit.

  

Hey Aussiebill.That one in your pic is for 4bbl,same as mine.The original pic does not appear to have a piece taken off.Is the original for a 2 bbl setup maybe?

  

If this car has a standard transmission.I don't think there's anything missing from th bracket.Is it a stick or FOM?

Its a Fordo Paul.He got a new flexplate because the brackets were falling off.

  

Mark, the one i posted is common on all of our 272 engines and they are 2 bbl,s either stromberg or holley. regards bill.

On checking the one on my LHD 56 sunliner,312, it has similar support, otherwise what supports the accel linkage end ?

The puzzle is coming together...wondered why the mystery part looked like overkill then today realized it stabilized end of throttle linkage and piece was broken off.

Ouch!

Shouldn't be too hard to make new one of these. Still don't see where other end of spring attaches???

Spring attaches to only other hole on the bracket!

I know where it goes on bracket it is where other end of spring hooks has me puzzled.

That should hold for awhile

Post a pic of the rest of the linkage that you have.Maybe the piece that the spring hooks to is missing or broken off.
