I've made the mistake of taking off the manifold and not documenting all parts/placements. I've also removed the carb. Had the manifold cleaned and painted. Now I need to put things back together. Does anyone have a photo of a 71, 440, 4bbl, original "old iron" manifold that shows how the throttle bracket, springs and this other bracket attach?(see picture) I've spent a lot of time looking through forum photos and Google image search, but can't find anything that looks like my set up. I think the throttle bracket mounts on the 2 intake bolts closest to the firewall? But I cant remember where the smaller bracket mounts and how the springs work in. I know the rusty throttle cable (in the picture) mounts up to the bracket, but I'm lost on the rest. Thanks again for helping this rookie mechanic out.

Appears you have an A/C compressor, smaller throttle return spring anchor would normally bolt to the compressor. Yours looks like it may not be original however.
