...all in all very bad day. Almost had the bird towed from the dog park due to it not starting after a couple of hours of tinkering....when I was on the phone for the tow it just started. Go figure.
To top it off just had my accelerator spring on the carb break on Michigan ave. in Chicago. Not fun..was able to bend it back to get home safe.

Where do I get a new spring?
Where do I find the correct size?
Is there a photo of how it should look? I think mine was not installed correctly.

Thanks

I just bought a couple from Motorcity Muscle Car on Ebay. Just seach "Firebird Carb Spring" or paste this link:

You´ll find the above mentioned at Ames, too:
