Re: Question about Carb. return spring color????
[ QUOTE ]
I think it is blue, but be careful with the repro springs out there, they suck and didn't bring my freshly rebuilt Holley 4557 by Vintage Carb back to dead idle, it is very weak. Just my .02 [/ QUOTE ] Sully needs a stiff spring...because he has a lead foot

Re: Question about Carb. return spring color????
These stiff spring comments remind me of the old 'California tuneups' we used to perform back in the day...I think I mentioned this here before?.
In retrospect, not a great idea but we'd pull the main springs and stretch them removing a lot of the stiffness for easier throttle application.. Customers were never told what had been done but always commented on the smooth operation and how responsive the cars were even under light throttle application!. So if you come upon any of the stretched springs, sorry?.  ~ Pete
