from what i have seen the return spring goes from the carb to the ign coil bracket. i bought a reproduction accelerator bracket for a q-jet carb & it has the lower return spring bracket that is in the way of the spring. are the originals bracket this way or not? i have the correct spring also. thanks bill

bart, the bracket the supports the accelerator cable that mounts to the back of the carb has a little arm that hangs down like the 396-375 for a holley that has a short spring. if you can take a picture of yours that would be great. the picture of the assy is the same as what i have for the manual. thanks bill

Bart,that is a good picture of what I needed to see. Is your bracket a original piece? Thanks bill
FWIW: The L-78 uses the same spring set-up as the rest of the big blocks. I'm not sure why that repro bracket has the arm on it, but as far as I know, it's not for a Holley carb. All the L-78's, copos, Yenko's etc that I've seen have the spring going to the coil bracket.
Your picture shows an attachment on the carb arm for a car with a turbo 400 kick down switch, but there is no switch in the pictute.
To the original post, on some Corvettes I have seen, the throttle cable bracket incorperates the arm on the bottom for the return spring. Maybe they are reproducing a Corvette version.
