Re: Help with Heat Riser spring direction

On my 47 356 which appears to be the same mechanism, at engine cold the weight is as you have it and pushing down on the weight is against the spring. The spring has the bend in the slit at the bottom of housing instead of at top and winds with the strip starting at outside going toward fender then up and winding around and in to center.

This does seem to jive with the manual but must confess, the engine was rebuilt many years ago by a Packard shop but has not been run so I can't vouch it is correct.
