What is the correct position for the trottle friction brake

[jbyers]

I'll be putting my trottle shaft back together on my 58 Cavalier this weekend. I think when I took the friction brake off the shaft it was not in the correct position.

It was pointing straight down as per the picture. Is this the correct position?

I would think that the two legs on the open end should straddle a bolt head in order to have something to hold the brake in a set position.

OK,, just in case you were wondering, the answer is straight down. I figured it out myself. The legs of the throttle rod brake straddle the post that comes out of the casting on the base of the gear box...........
