I have a stock looking (except for FPA headers) 390 4V about to go back into my Z code. Many parts were lost before I bought the car, but now I have almost everything. It seems the stock bellcrank - this is a CruiseOMatic car - hits the air cleaner, exactly where it has a clearance indent. With the stock parts, this should be retained where it will not interfere.
I have located the two return springs; one from the bellcrank to the firewall, and the other from the bellcrank to . . . ?
The service manual shows a small tab near the front of the engine, but not if it is mounted to the carburetor or a bolt on the intake or valve cover. This is a 9 3/8" or so extension spring, so I was hoping someone might know.
