What is this collar for?

I wonder if the collar was put there to make it easier starting/turn-over the motor from inside the engine compartment. You could wrap your fingers around the collar a lot easier than just the rod itself.

Just thinking! (Which sometimes can be dangerous.)

Ron/IA I really like that!

looks to be plastic might be to keep the shaft for hitting the starter bolt.

I think it's part of that Sparky Start setup.The rig that kicks the starter over when you retard the spark all the way.It ties into the spark rod,and has a bellcrank that pivots onto that collar to push the rod down.It looks like the rest of the setup has been removed,and hopefully thrown away.

I also removed mine. Anybody want one?
 
What happened Fred,did you come up to a stop sign and crash your starter drive into the ring gear by throwing the spark lever up?
 
Y Blockhead. That part is part of the up start kit sold by the vendors. Look at Snyder's part # A11470-F.

Had one on my car for a while.

Dick - Looks like that is it.

At least I guessed it had something to do with starting. (Although, being on the starter rod, it wasn't much of a guess.)
 
It sure is great that these fine Ford Barn people are so helpful. How can a person go wrong with all this good advice? :rolleyes:
