Here's a pic of my 216. The return spring should attach similarly on a 235.

Mine currently looks like this on my 1960 235, but I just found my spring clip that attaches to the oil pan bolt and I'll be installing a return spring shown by the red line. The gas pedal does move very smoothly in the current setup though.

If the little bracket/hook thing on the oil pan is missing, it’s the easiest thing ever to fabricate. I drilled a hole in a little conduit clamp.
That's what I did. Just enlarge one of the holes for the pan screw. 1/2" copper pipe clamp.

Here's what the original spring clip that attaches with a pan screw looks like, if anyone is interested
