-63 Dynaflow question; Where did this spring come from?

[Guest Lasse]

I´m ashamed to ask, but watchagonnado: I was disconnecting one of the cooler lines from my Dynaflow (-63 Riviera) and in the process knocked this spring loose, see pics. Where does it connect to and what does it actually do down there? Yes, I noticed it being there all the time, but didn´t bother to look at it any closer before it was on the floor. And now I don´t know what to do with it!

I´d appreciate some info and also if you could keep the mocking to a bear minimum. Some is allowed, of course.

Thanks.

Often springs are attached to a shifting rod to keep it from rattling, or to keep slight tension on it. Look for a rod with a tab on the side with a hole in it. Maybe that's where it goes.
