throttle return spring bracket 302 4V auto

[CharlesTurner]

I thought the return spring always attached to the throttle rod?

[Coralsnake]

It does.

It appears there have been some modifications to the bracket and installation in picture 29.

The spring is correct.

This pic is great. Thanks.
The pic below is how I mounted my spring to that bracket I had and the throttle linkage. Wrong spring because none were available in 2008.

The bracket in your picture is mounted correctly.

I had a "history" with that spring. For me they would break at the bracket connection.

The green spring is 20 coils, 1 inch long (w/o hooks) about 1 7/8" overall and approximately 9/16" diameter

I would appreciate confirmation from anyone with a green oem spring or info on the blue spring

I found a photo of the spring that I had snapped several mos ago.  I count 20 coils as well.  I had painted the spring light blue based on what I thought was correct information at the time.  Unfortunately I don't have a "before" photo. 

Thanks for the pic. Gary
