Default need help reinstalling choke...

I went through my qaudrajet on my 77, and after putting it back on the choke is not quite right... It's the electronic coil btw. Does the rubber piece on the end of the coil get wedged in the slot inside the choke or just loop over the top? If somebody could give me some tips on reinstalling it I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Well my choke does not seem to operate correctly and I have a pretty erradic and high idle... When the coil goes in the choke arm, do you have to put much tension on it? i.e. rotate a whole revolution? I simply rotated in counterclockwise about 1/8 turn to get the notches lined up. I don't remember much spring tension on it when I pulled it apart...
