I’ve only had this a few days and never had a slant 6. Looking over the engine I found a few open vacuum lines and I think a missing spring. Also there’s a cut wire. Until my shop manual shows up I’ll ask you guys. AFD48231-D684-4B23-A88B-BA649CB1AE4E.jpeg4656C5AF-34BF-4A5C-9D7F-B00EA95F2175.jpeg

This is a very crude drawing of the throttle return spring you're missing, the wire that is broken is for the idle dashpot. If the engine idles okay and has decent performance warm, you can probably ignore the wire.

Ok. The spring pulls against the dashpot that isn’t working anyway. There are some springs, one inside the other that look like they are in the wrong place. I’m thinking they should go where you illustrated.

I have dual springs like you describe on mine so that should be exactly what belongs there.

The dasshpot is idle bump up, like when the A/C turns on.
