Default LT1 broken throttle body spring, locate and replace help

Anyone know a part number or how to get ahold of a return spring for a 1993 LT1 throttle body? And how does one replace it? I've hunted around a bit but can't find the part. The car doesn't return to idle when I let off the gas unless I pull the pedal back up, not exactly safe.

I think you have to replace the entire throttle body, and that's what I would do.
I've had a few stuck throttle incidents on my motorcycles. It never ends well.
