Thackery spring

Thackery spring
Can someone tell me what this Thackery spring is supposed to do? Part of item 22 in this image. According to this image this spring is sitting on top of the tailstock sandwiched between two washers (which appears to be useless to me). I have seen other pictorials showing the spring actually going between the tailstock and transom plate. I have an 85' w/trs&bw, that I removed the rear engine mount (big metal plate going between the block and bellhousing), and am trying to mound directly to the transom plate. Everything seems to be aligned ok but that spring is making the bolt too short (imo)

I had the same problem understanding the purpose. Read post #3 at the link below. This should help you. I put mine together this spring following the procedure outlined and everything went together fine.
