Re: FNG 72 K5 CST Project

Heres another one, little closer....the reason the spring is mounted to the forward position (on your ford picture), is to have the wear more uniform...throttle cable pulls the shaft to the rear, and with the spring in the rear mounted position, all the wear is on the back of the throttle shaft. But, if you put the spring forward of the throttle shaft, it equalizes the pressure, supposedly

Pay no attention to the outside cable, thats for cruise control
