[T3] '69 fastback fuel injection resurrection

I am rebuilding a '69 fastback in which the PO had removed all the FI parts
in favor of duel carbs.  My goal is to make the FI work again.  I believe I
have all the necessary parts; however without another assembled vehicle of
that ilk, I am unsure about how the throttle return spring connection
works.  I have an "L-shaped" bracket that that I believe mounts via the
front-most stud holding the temp sensor II onto the case.  It has a small
hole drilled at the top of the vertical which I suspect holds one end of
the return spring.  I also have a barrel nut into which the throttle cable
is attached that has a 360 degree ridge on the non-threaded end where I
suspect the other end of the spring is attached.  What I'm missing is the
spring that supplies the tension to the throttle.

Can someone post a picture of how the L-bracket / spring / barrel nut
assembly looks (or direct me to an existing photo) and maybe a close-up of
the spring itself?  Spring specs, or a source for one, would help as well.

Thanks,
Steve
