Kickdown lever

[CTGSTANG]

I was doing some work yesterday and saw that the kickdown lever does move backwards and "clicks" to down shift, but then it stays there. It doesn't automatically move back forward unless I pushed it with my hand. Is there supposed to be a return spring that attaches? This is a Holley 600 four barrel carb the previous owner installed. I wonder if it broke or just not put back...:huh:

Pretty sure there should be a spring, fairly light, just enough to pull it back

I believe this is what you need. There should already be a hole in your base plate to bolt the bracket to. If not it is easy enough to drill and tap one.

I just used a universal spring bracket which attached to an intake manifold bolt and a light spring the appropriate length.

That's exactly it. I just installed mine a couple weeks ago.
