Yes, this is what I am finding to be the case. So I must assume some previous owner did this kludge for some unknown reason. I just bought an aftermarket Holley bracket
with dual springs to solve my problem. There is currently only one spring attached to the
carb and it's long, light, and also seems to
be a kludge of sorts. Can't wait to try the
new spring setup and (maybe) drive the car.
