Throttle spring

I have an '87 350 TPI L98. I just removed the intake to repair an oil leak. As I removed the throttle, kickdown, and cruise control cables, a very lightweight spring popped off that I've nev

er seen before. I assume it's a throttle return spring, but I can't figure out how it goes back on. Can anyone send a picture of this spring on their engine so I can figure out where to attach both ends?

Re: Throttle spring

Everything seems to be working OK, but now the throttle doesn't seem to come all the way down. There is a slight gap to the stop screw and when I push it down the idle drops all the way to the set position.

Re: Throttle spring

Throttlebody is severely worn, the spring is a bandaid fix .
