throttle return spring attachment question

I have a 4150 2818 holley carb on my 65 327/350. Does the return spring attach to the end of the accelerator rod bushing or to another hole somewhere else? I have seen it both ways. Also, how should the linkage be adjusted on the accelerator rod?

The throttle linkage adjustment procedure is in UPC 6 in your Assembly Manual.

So the end of the rod with the threaded portion and fitting/cotter pin goes towards the firewall side and the fixed end goes towards the spring side ? I don't have an assembly manual. I just got my carb back from Eric Jackson. Sorry, I am such a newbie girl.

That's correct.
