Throttle spring

[DollyDodge]

Hi: Can someone tell me what a replacement spring would be for the Throttle Return spring on a B-2-C it has a part number of 14-16-1?

thanks

the number listed is the plate illustration number not necessarily the mopar part number. You have to take that number fromt he issustration to the parts list to look up the part number. that said you chould be able to find something that will work at the hardwarestore or at most parts houses. Take what left of the old one or the illustration if that all you have, and you should be able to match something up.

DollyDogde,

Try to get the spring with the same diameter wire and coil length. Other wise pedal will be stiff or really easy to drop to the floor when foot pressure is applied.

I just went to my local hardware store and looked through their drawers of springs until I found one long enough, and with about the right tension. It works fine for me.

I bought a new spring for the engine in my coupe when I rebuilt my engine. All I did was take the spring to the auto parts store and matched it up with a new one hanging on the rack. First one I bought was too stiff, so went back and got a weaker one.

My problem is I don't have an original to work with to figure out how long or what the diameter should be.

It has a throttle return spring but it isn't correctly set up. Some has put a spring that goes from the top throttle linkage to the wheel well panel. The old spring must have broken and someone rigged it up the way it is now. I will just try to find one that works.

Thanks

The spring (# 1088-169) connects to a Cotter pin (7/8 x 1\8) in the firewall directly inline with the throttle linkage rod. Go to the DPETCA link and look at page 14-6. Does not have any info on spring tho.
