090005262 ROD LINK ASM W/SPG SUPPORT

Assume part of the Sweep Link assembly? Nope, it's a distributor part that attaches to the distributor main casting. This is an assembly with a rod end and spring support attached to a 3.5" rod. The rod slides in the safety link tube assembly, which includes a rod end and the tube, that attaches to the distributor support weldment. The two pieces, Rod Link and Safety tube assembly held closed (collapsed) by the safety link spring, prevents damage to the distributor if it accidently gets moved or hit or when it can't move due to pins jamming it. The spring stretches allowing the Rod Link and Safety tube to separate when the distributor is moved or jammed.
