I sent my 1970 340 AVS carb to be rebuilt by Harms . he is working on it.
The question I have is what color is right for the carb return and kick down springs . The ones on my car are grey for the carb turn spring and red with black strip for the kick down spring .
When I look up for the new springs it shows different colors, red for carb spring and green for the kick down spring . And are different style of spring.
I am confused ??

Scott is great to deal with and he really knows his 340 stuff, I would call or ask him on this one or another forums....I'm sure he knows.

Sorry guys, that's a 70 engine detail that I have not been able to confirm solidly using reliable survivor examples. I've seen some return springs that APPEARED to be original in both a reddish orange, and a bluish green. I have not seen a properly shaped reproduction spring for 70 or 71.
