There are apparently a lot of ways to make the throttle return spring work, but what seemed to be the cheapest was just buying a new spring, pinching the end a bit so it clears the idle screw, and attaching to what I think is an engine lift lug. Fits pretty good.

The vac and pcv hoses didn't fit, and they were aged anyway so those got replaced.

Fuel lines are another thing that doesn't fit q-jet to edelbrock. I'm waiting on a new hard line from inline tube so I can have a filter and only short lengths of rubber hose. I'll post pics when I get that going.
