Rockies54,
I too have a weird throttle return spring hookup on my 46 that someone incorporated along the way. Can someone help me also? I've put a picture up on Webshots for all to see. I can identify the little tab on the throttle rod, but I don't know where to connect the other end to. There doesn't seem to be an obvious place on the engine block to hook to. Presently you can see where the spring is hooked onto the carb and then hooked on a little post located on the exhaust manifold. I just know this can't be correct. I'm sure it isn't the right spring. I works, however, looks like a Rube Goldburg. Sorry Ruby!
The engine is a 216 with a Carter YF carb.
Also, where would be the best place to purchase the correct throttle return spring?
