I presume it is an early 1438, one with a fan attached to the engine?

If so it is the brush for the fan blade clutch. At speed when there is plenty of airflow and the temperature of the coolant is within normal parameter it would allow the fan to freewheel and not take power from the engine to drive it.

Hope that helps.
