this photo is prior to rebuild - i just saw the darn thing, and now i can't find it anywhere. it runs from the throttle lever down to the kickdown/throttle cable bracket. is is just a safety spring for the factory return spring, or is it kickdown related? thanks EDIT: not the chrome double springs, i know what they are, i put them on with the new carb, but the lower spring, just for clarification, since you can see 3 springs in the picture

that's what i was thinking...it's almost like a back-up throttle return spring, but i now have dual springs on the carb....during reassembly, i picked up the spring and had no idea how to hook it up to the point where it would work for kickdown - this picture is how it was hooked up when i got the car over 6 years ago... so i guess i now need to know how to hook up a kickdown spring on a one-piece kickdown linkage for a 440  any ideas?

not sure what you mean/where to connect - tried looking for pics, but can't seem to find any.

The pic below shows the correct one-piece linkage configuration, if you had the correct Holley throttle lever extension (Holley #20-7) you could eliminate the dogleg bend in the slotted link.
I copied the wrong pic over. Thanks John. The idea is the same to keep the rear of the slot in contact with the throttle at all times.

well, i assume it's the chrysler throttle extension i have, i transferred it over from the holley that was on it. i got a great pic from a guy on the roadrunnernest, so now i can see exactly what i need to set it up like.
i also seem to have the "hillbilly" nut and bolt in the slot - i may have more questions on adjusting it later, but it seemed to work just fine.
