I am currently putting back together a 51...for some reason my linkage to the carburetor does not return...so their is no spring in the gas pedal...I noticed that there is a clip on the linkage coming up half way from the where it attaches to the block...So if a spring connects there where does the other end of the spring attach to?

I did the Ace hardware thing first. Waste of
time. frown The spring you need has a tricky little
bend on one end. It's hard to find the right tension too. At least now I have 4 new springs in my junk drawer.
