Where does this go?

Things are winding down with putting my 1972 F250 back together. For whatever reason I did not mark what this is or where it goes and I have no idea. Can someone tell me about it? It looks like it goes around something.

Thanks.

I believe that the piece on the left should be the distributor hold down bracket and the one on the right would be what the accelerator linkage spring would be connected to.

Thank you so much. I bought an MSD distributor, I'll have to check and see if I still need to use this; and I was wondering where my return spring hooked up to. Many thanks.
