Saw this on a flathead for sale, caught my attention, is this a real early ford setup?

Yes, but the kicker is I don't remember it this easy before I messed with the springs which leads me to the next question; Its understood that the end of clutch spring connects to the end of the adjustable fork on the engine side but if I remember correctly I just have the other end connected...

Thanks, just finished, gave them a slight drag on both sides, before, just free wheel...
