Carb linkage 59 ser.62

Could someone please post a pix of the carb linkage and return spring.
I'm missing some parts and don't have a clue as to how the spring
is mounted on the engine.
thanks

Thanks Gavin
My carbs a carter but the photos help alot.
Where does your return spring anchor?
Is there a bracket on the manifold?
Mine was just tie wired to the water pump.
I don't think thats GM correct , Im missing something.
Thanks

The driver's side rear bolt on the thermostat housing is supposed to have a square tab under it, bent up slightly, it has a small hole drilled in it for the carb return spring to attach to.  Don't know why but these things are missing on many of the engines of that vintage that I have seen and the return spring is (incorrectly) attached in all different manners.  Maybe that tab gets lost when the thermostat is changed.  Some one here MUST have a picture of one.

Best I could find on a quick search of internet images, not perfect but you get the idea.  Spring hooked up to the correct spot but the spring itself looks incorrect ----

Thanks Guys
I can make something like that. I figured there was some
kind of bracket but I wasn't sure where it was mounted.
Great responses,that helped alot.

Here's where my return spring goes. On the bracket for the oil filter canister oat ached to the water pump.

Thats how it is on my 59, little hole in the oil filter mount bracket

There ya go!  I forgot about the old style oil filter on the '59s, and I had a '60.  Similar though.

Thanks Great pix  This motor didn't have an oil filter on it ,
and a trip to Carsile was unsucessful so i rigged my own
filtering system as you can see in the pix.
Great responses Thanks alot
