I've got a "basically" stock '57 Tudor Ranch Wagon with 292, new Holley 4-barrel carb (#1848-1/465cfm), and Fordomatic trans. In looking at the factory manual, page 2-89, Fig. 105, I see no return springs anywhere on the bell crank or throttle linkage. On the previous page, Fig. 104, it shows one return spring, but that picture relates to the 2-barrell carburetor. I guess my questions are (1) where is the spring for the throttle return; (2) where's the spring for the kick-down; and where can the correct springs be purchased. Sorry for the lengthy post, but any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Ron.

my 57 ranchero has a throttle return spring,from the lever that is part of the foot feed to the intake. mine is a manual trans. the kick down likage should be tied to the throttle,when you floor it the kick down has a slot wher it moves the tp rod to the trans.ther should be a hole in the likage wher you put a pin in to adjust tp. get a older motors repair manual and they did a good job walking you threw. just did a 56 merc. not sure if they ar the same,thinkso.

Steve Metzger addressed this some time ago with an excellent diagram how to set it up. If you search the forum you will his previous post.
