carb spring bracket location

[Mike Szadaj]

Does the bracket for the carb throttle return spring

attach to this hole in the head, or does it go under the first intake bolt? Or is that hole in the head for the battery ground wire?

Great pics Wayne.......Especially showing they "key" element of what nature wants........I wonder how many restored cars forgot to do that small very important step....

My car won't start... not sure why.. lol. Coated the connection point surfaces with Noalox as well.

The cable goes under the bolt with a star washer from the factory. not between the bracket and manifold like in the picture.

Factory installed it before paint so no need to clean it off and have it rust.

I haven’t looked at any of that stuff off my heap in a while....... but, I seem to recall the top of the return spring bracket having some sort of serrations or “teeth” where the bolt goes through.

Or...... am I crazy?

Yes.. chrysler stamped it deep so it would assumable bite into the ground wire terminal on the back side. I of course noticed that after I ground mine clean on the Bee.. LOL Many think it's a mark from a star washer.. it is not... you can see a couple of the deep stamp "serrations" in this shot on my SBird.
