Help with throttle linkage/return spring

[Mikko_]

I'm having some issues with the throttle not returning to idle on my '53 Customline.
As you can see in one of the pictures the spring is binding against the heater hose and I have a hard time believing this is the factory setup but can't really find out where it is supposed to be.

Any help is appreciated: pictures of factory correct cars or clever ideas.

The first thing I see is you have the wrong carburetor. Here are some pictures. The first picture show how the linkage should be but the return spring is wrong. The second picture shows the correct return spring.

A couple more pics for your review.

Thanks for the pictures.
