John, in the stock setup, the throttle spring runs vertically and is attached to a clip that that is attached by one of the oil pan screws directly below it.
I'm going to look for that clip on the old 216. I installed the old spring from the oil pan lip to the little tab on the linkage bar, but the gas pedal was hard to push down. Lots of pressure to get it started and then it would move quickly. The way I have the spring now, the pedal is very smooth with equal pressure throughout the push. I did order a new spring and can try the vertical position again.
