Default Throttle Return Spring

Is anyone running their throttle return spring from the front of the carburetor instead or the rear?
I would like to move the throttle return spring from it stock location pulling from the rear to pulling from the front. I have a Rochester Q-jet.
If you have the throttle return spring pulling from the front could you post pictures of your set up?

Hmm, would you happen to have a pic of that Edlebrock setup with the forward facing throttle spring? Sounds like that would do the trick on mine.
Sorry, did not mean to highjack the thread.

Thanks in advance
