1987 throttle body
I removed my throttle body to replace the TPS, I noticed that one of the return springs is broken. Not having any luck finding a spring kit for these throttle bodies. Is my only recourse to purchase a used throttle body and use a spring from it? Anybody have a throttle body laying around that would like to sell? Thanks everyone!

I have purchased several used throttle bodies from the junkyard over the years. I would use the whole part instead of trying to use it for parts. Your only option for new is from BBK (twin 56mm) and I would suggest buying one of those unless you are willing to see if the the quality control is better than is was when I bought one ~ 8 years ago.
