Default Tri-power throttle return spring

This was on the front carb rear nolt and the throttle spring was connected to it. According to the 1969 AIM this is incorrect. What, if anything, did this come from?

That’s not a factory part. Can you post a photo of the existing linkage?

I saw something similar to it at a car show last night for the throttle return on a BDS Blower. I am going to Manchester NH street show tomorrow. If I see another I will take a pic

Ive seen them on the front fuel line and on a bracketr for a 67 setup. That could be from a Dodge or a Ford. They all ran similar Holleys

This is from a 69 with AC. The 68 spring was yellow and the 69 spring was orange. The solenoid unit was for use during AC operation.
