a little carb help

hey guys, I recently picked up a 79' 2wd 302 manual, motocraft 2bb carb its pretty rough, they guy before me basically went to autozone and picked everything out of the mods aisle and tried to "make it fast" so, I'm having to go thru and fix alot of stuff.

The prob i am dealing with today is, i rebuilt the carb, it was missing parts, when i took it off, the float was just ...... floating, nothing holding it in its place.
#1 its missing the fast idle screw, no biggy,
But what i am struggling on is the springs for the reinstall for the thottle and kick down, does anyone have pictures of theirs? id like to know where these go, on the truck there are 3 springs, yes i said 3 springs in the carbs area so i took the all off and am prayin to get some help as to where they go and what ones are not needed, thanks guys!
