Vincent,

You might want to reply to one of your previous threads. Otherwise, nobody knows what car you're referring to.

From the location I would suspect it is used to be sure the choke is open after choking the car. Maybe the spring on the choke is broken or missing. I could be wrong. If the hood were open or the picture taken from the carburetor looking down, it might be more apparent.

That’s right Norm. My guess is that the spring failed on one of the owner’s fishing trips and he fixed it with what he had available. Worked fine so just left it. It’s been on there since at least 1962 when he stopped driving it officially.

Darn! I was going to call the carburetor Albert. Albert is much more distinguished than Holley.

Allan from down under.

You got me there! I should have said something more like:
Identify the manufacturer of the for-mentioned atomizing fuel delivery device.
