How to replace throttle return spring

Mine is broken. I searched for a video but couldn't find one

I think the upper floorboard is removed to access the throttle assembly. There are several different springs(5 assemblies, I believe) installed with the assembly probably out of the car. Two bolts fasten the throttle assembly to the bell housing. There are two places on the top side of the assembly for oiling, to keep the throttle cross shaft happy. Check for alignment. With an engine replacement, the throttle assembly can get bumped, mangled, and misaligned.

Pm sent. I have throttle assemblies hoarded if you need a replacement. Hope you can recruit a local club member to walk you thru the fix.

Click on the spring for your car. There are instructions there.
