The second spring is not factory correct. It is one of the few non-original things I have decided to have on my '68. It is a safety device. Should the correct spring fail, the throttle could be stuck wide open. The second offers redundancy.

The cylindrical part in front is the idle stop solenoid. It's purpose is to lower the idle RPM when the engine is shut off to eliminate dieseling/run on.
