Could someone please provide a picture, and/or description of where to attach the return spring for the accelerator on a 1941? Mine is a Series 62 convertible coupe.
Yesterday I found the spring lying loose in the engine bay, and a "dead" gas pedal.
I've made a temporary attachment, but hope to correct it before driving a week long tour in Lafayette, Louisiana in a couple of weeks.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Not sure this will help as my 1939 LaSalle uses a different carburetor but here is a picture of my setup

The picture posted of a 39 LaSalle return spring setup is correct for 1941 Cadillacs also. The bracket attached to the rear bolt of the exhaust crossover can be made of 1/16 inch or heavier flat steel or stainless steel.
