Carb Return spring kit info needed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone used this setup? If so, do you have a picture or better yet, instructions on how to install?

thanks......

I bought mine from Summit Racing and it came with instructions. Basically the bracket bolts to the carb base and faces forward. The bushings go in the large hole on the throttle arm with a bolt and another bracket. The springs attach to the bracket that bolts to the base and smaller bracket on the arm.

I don't have pictures with me, but I can take a few this evening and post them...

It works "OK"-the biggest pain in the rear was getting the springs installed.

Yes, if you could post pics, that would be great.......

BHRS · 10-09-2007, 01:56 PM

I will get some on tonight...

Here are some pictures of mine. The carb is a Holley 1850-3 and the manifold is an Edelbrock Performer 2-0.

IMHO those are the best design for return springs ever. they dont wear out the shaft and are accurate. except I would mount the throttle cable to the large hole for a less touchy pedal. i had the same setup on my 80K20 with a highly modified 4776. it worked flawlessly.

Thanks Brian.....that really helps......

If you buy it and still need the instructions, I can fax them to you.

70GMCer · 10-10-2007, 04:53 PM

I already had bought it. I'll go by the pictures. If I need the instructions, I'll let you know.

thanks again......

70GMCer · 10-10-2007, 05:45 PM

Got it installed just now......Works great. Only hard part, was putting on the springs. They were a bear!!

BHRS · 10-10-2007, 05:51 PM

Looks good. See...I told you they were a pain in the rear...LOL

Forth coming. I haven't finished getting all the parts on yet. I have completely changed the look of this engine. "70c10

" will not let me live it down either.

My return spring broke this morning on the way to work and the revs shot up to 4K... I could tap it back, so I limped to Walmart (the only place I could find at 7:30...) and bought a small bungie cord and some duct tape. It was a quick fix, and worked great, but the dual spring setup has real appeal for me after the sound of my engine screaming.

70GMCer · 10-10-2007, 06:24 PM

But, as they say.....If you can't fix it....duck it......

**jaros44sr** · 10-10-2007, 07:21 PM

Man, that set up came out sweet, I have Lokar cables on mine, but I like the idea of my springs not wearing out my shaft, I'll have to put it on the todo list. Thanks for the idea

70c10 · 10-10-2007, 08:44 PM

Looks good Steve!. Where did you get it?

red69ss · 10-10-2007, 09:16 PM

I have the same setup bought it from summit I love it

70GMCer · 10-11-2007, 01:43 PM
