what's this by my fuse box?
Pardon me if I ask a lot of dumb questions.
I am trying to figure out what this rod thing is near the fuse box, by the steering column. Please see the pic:

That looks like the switch that will allow you to crank the starter only when the clutch pedal is stepped on .

Some hilljack appears to have decided to hack it out of its rightful place and wedge it up in there, maybe with that tie-wrap you can see, so the car could be started even with the clutch engaged. As if that's A Good Idea somehow.
It'd be a GREAT idea to put it back like it belongs, if it's not too trashed to be properly restored to its functionality.

My Dad must have moved it; replacing the ignition, and other parts that had been previously wrecked, was the last project he was working on when he got sick and died.
