What is the dash pot for on the car?

I haven't seen a dashpot used since the early70's. Their intent was to allow the throttle mechanism on the Carb to return to the Idle position slowly. A superfluous item IMHO. A properly adjust Carb & idle setting will work just fine without it.

Thought the dash pots were used on auto trans cars.

If you want the original look I would adjust it so it does nothing to the throttle return to idle stop.

As Neil said it is unnecessary.
