ID this part. 74 Dart Sport

Going from memory, the part on the bracket with the plastic bushing does not serve any purpose on the 74 model.
That style bracket was used from 71 or 72 thru 75 with 8 cylinder engines.
Maybe some members can examine their linkage for a different answer.
There is a better picture of the bracket in the 1973 Dodge chassis service manual in chapter 6 - page 4
