Might be window regulator springs.

Looks like a thermostatic spring for a heat riser.

Either the heat riser as Milaca suggests or it could be an automatic choke spring. There are several applications on a vehicle for springs of this geometry.

Judging by the width of the metal strip, I believe that these are window regulator springs.

I agree, Clark. Not easy to get to, either.

If that is a quarter next to the spring than I vote that it's a automatic choke spring. That is my guess.

[fred k.]

That is one of them thair things.

I agree, bi-metal spring for an automatic choke

Guess you're right. That was so out of focus I didn't even notice the coin.

Just to add some boring facts - That is known as a clock spring. It is as close as you can come to a constant force or constant rate spring. They are used in everything from wind up clocks to tape measurers. As stated, the bi metal springs will change position when exposed to temperature fluctuations. Aren't you sorry you wasted your time reading this post?
