904 kickdown lever spring tension?

It is supposed to be held forward by a spring on the rod up at the carb on some, or a spring from the pivot at the firewall end to a loop on the TP rod.
The rod should be held all the way forward by the spring.
I'll locate a couple of pics for ya and post em.
Yep, you do need one, if yours is one like mine on my 72 dart, I had to put a rod & spring on mine when I got it wear someone added the Edelbrock, flipped the rod & I got a spring from auto parts that worked & been holding in place for a long time!...Hear is a pic of how I got mine set up!
