|  What was the purpose of this set screw 
			
			I'm going to guess is was a a set screw to keep the engine from reving too high via have the throttle wide open?  Could it have been a governor?

			I have never seen that particular bracket setup. Is it an original part? Rod J Issaquah, WA |

			Yes, it came with trucks that used the 4 so. Hydramatic. The longer pass. side part is where the original throttle linkage was connected at the top. The shorter one is where the hydramatic kickdown rod was connected.
