Hi again Im just wondering, on a standard factory slant six equipped with Holley 1920, what keeps the throttle lever (and butterfly) in the closed position? I would imagine some kind of spring? If so, where should this spring be connected to? Here is my current setup (see the spring on the right)  I do not have the well type choke thermostat there at the moment but soon i will, so where should I connect the spring to then (i mean as per factory)? Thanks. Syed |

You're missing the throttle spring bracket. |

What Dan said:  I happen to have an extra one barrel throttle return spring bracket gathering dust in my garage. Are you interested in it?

I think I might have two, as well as some old Holley and Carter one barrel thermostatically assisted choke pulloff coil assemblies. I need to go dig around in my parts stash. |

Note the pictured throttle spring bracket is a later variety, not the more vertical type that would have come on Syed's '66. The later horizontal spring bracket requires a spring with an extended hook/leg as shown in Reed's photo, not the type shown in Syed's photo. |

Ah! Thanks for pointing that out Dan. I'll see if I have the other style bracket. |

…or a spare long-legged throttle spring... |

I probably DO have an extra long-legged spring. I found these while I was rooting around in one of my parts bins in my attic:  The throttle spring bracket on the far left is the one i posted a picture of before. The second throttle return spring bracket looks like it is another late version that has had the leg cut off and the spring loop arm bent a bit. The thermostatically assisted choke pulloff assembly looks like it is for an early carb with the closed well, but I don't know if it is a Holley or a Carter. Unfortunately, it looks as if the rod for the choke linkage has ben bent out o its original shape. I might have more parts squirreled away, but I need time to dig them out. The simplest solution is for you to bend up a piece of metal, bolt it to the motor, and run a spring from the carb to the piece of metal. |

Is this the vertical one you are talking about Dan?  (pic taken from FABO)If so, anyone has this? or maybe a well-type choke thermostat for pre-'73 as well? anyone? Anyway, I managed to make a quick make-shift bracket for temporary use, until I can get the correct one. Obviously this would not work with the choke thermostat in place...  Syed |
