I took off the throttle body, cleaned, and painted it and put it back on. As it is right now there are two springs attached. Is there another spring or something missing in the hole in picture one? Note that the kickdown lever has not been installed. Holley 1920 on a 74 Dart.

I'm sorry I don't have an answer to your question, but rather one of my own for you; what is the black metal thing bolted to the side of your intake? Looks like some sort of brace?

Thanks,

Nat

The linkage setup looks completely correct.
In these photos, the throttle body has not been painted (what did you actually paint?)
The black bracket bolted to the intake is an A/C compressor rear brace.

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

I have the same set up and it looks similar to mine. The linkages are in the right holes.

Yes, Dan the black thing is one of three factory a/c braces on my car. I painted blue the item just to the right of the EGR and to the left of the starter (one blue bolt holds the stove pipe and the other blue nut holds the black accelerator cable).

In both pictures, there is a metal part of the carburetor that has a hole in it. Does anything go here? You can actually grab this item and move it towards the driver side and rev the engine.

That's the throttle lever on your carb, it opens the throttle plate and lets you go 'vroom'.... your model of car and carb has an integral 'spring' on the carb throttle plate shaft, and the 'hole' is for a return spring, that would not be 'correct' for the car, but would be nice insurance in case the shaft spring broke....

Speaking of springs, the two on the car are 34 years old. If I decide to replace them, what do I call them or what are the part numbers when I get to the auto parts store?

If you want replacements, it's junkyard or NOS... or mix and match aftermarket springs of the right length.... (sorry if you didn't pick a chevy XXX, or a Ford YYY, or and aftermarket ZZZ, they don't repop stock springs sadly enough....you might check for springs from a 340Cuda...)



-D.Idiot

(I got spares in the tool box that are just that old...)

Just as a precautionary thing too... you may want to move the top-most return spring to the hole closest to the carb. That way, it wont pull the throttle shaft towards the side, and start egg shaping it out.

With the spring in that alternate position, you can add some more time to the life of the throttle shaft.
