looking for pictures for throttle springs

[dan juhasz]

So i see a lot of different pictures for spring locations for throttle and kickdown, What is correct? I see pictures were one spring pulls the throttle closed and the other spring for the kickdown appears to want to pull the throttle open? Car in question is my 67 Coronet RT 440 single carter 4v

I can get you some pictures tomorrow.

The smaller second spring hooks to the transmission kick down linkage, and pulls the linkage ahead to follow the movement of the carb throttle stud. The factory shop manual shows the linkage in detail. I have a '67 R/T, too.

Best picture I have, was landing the car on the k-frame. Zoom in.

so that kick down spring should be very light in tension strength or it would also work to open the throttle. Kind of a tug of war, what vendor sells the best quality repop of these two springs.

So I know my configuration is not factory but the way I have the spring for the kick down is functionally correct. This way there is no tug of on the throttle shaft

Nice looking '67 R/T. I have one in Daffodil Yellow. The correct spring hooks to the outside notch of the carb stud. The other end slips into the hole of the kickdown linkage that you presently have a cotter pin in. Classic Industries or Year One may have the correct springs.

Little late to the game with pictures, but as promised. These are from my unrestored 67 GTX.

Dan. The line pressure/kick down spring location is correct in the pics posted by Jerry Hall.
In your pic IMO it is wrong.
As stated in an earlier post it is there to insure the transmission linkage follows the throttle linkage on and off.
It is actually the "return" spring for the transmission linkage to stop the linkage getting stuck on full line pressure.
The long slot in that rod is if the trans linkage does stick the throttle will go off as the carb stud can run down the slot.

Dan you need to remove that bracket for the transmission spring and hook the spring to the carburetor linkage as shown in my pictures. That looks like the correct bracket for the carburetor return spring. Also the carburetor return spring is a red one and the kick down linkage spring is yellow. I bought a bunch of the correct red carburetor springs years ago and still have a few, but I am out of the kick down springs.

I did find a company that sells the correct kick down spring so I will hook it up as factory intended. Thanks for the pictures.

Where did you finally get your kick down spring from?
