There  are two springs on the accelerator linkage.  A small light weight one  
goes at the petal end of the cable under the truck.  It goes from the  
linkage where the cable attaches to the petal link, to the front body work  
on a tab welded to  inner front pan.  It is there to keep  tension on the 
cable.  The second spring goes from the downward  facing link on the 
carburetor cross-shaft to the a tab welded on the front  engine shroud.

    I agree with this with one exception;
 
The front spring needs to be a bit on the heavy side and a light weight one  
in the rear.
    You DO NOT want a heavy spring in the rear as that  will put a tension on 
the inner cable and will make it bind, even a new  cable.
