C3 1968-1972 Corvette Accelerator Return Spring (All)

Restore crisp throttle response and proper accelerator pedal operation with this 1968-1972 Chevrolet Corvette Accelerator Return Spring. Designed as a direct replacement for the factory throttle return spring, this high-quality reproduction provides the tension needed to return the carburetor linkage and accelerator pedal to the idle position when the pedal is released. Over time, the original spring can weaken, stretch, rust, or break, resulting in sluggish throttle return, inconsistent pedal feel, or unsafe throttle operation. Replacing the return spring restores smooth, reliable throttle control and helps maintain safe driving performance. This spring is designed for all 1968-1972 Corvette models except factory Tri-Power (3x2) carburetor applications and replaces GM reference part number 3972624.

Manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications, this restoration-quality accelerator return spring is formed from high-strength spring steel to provide consistent tension and long service life. It installs using the factory throttle linkage without modification, making it an ideal replacement during carburetor service, throttle linkage repair, or complete engine restoration. Whether you're performing routine maintenance or completing a concours-quality restoration, this spring delivers the factory-style fit, function, and reliability Corvette enthusiasts expect.
