"Under those conditions, the amount the "air valve" opens is a factor of the air flow in the secondaries acting against the air valve, and the amount it opens is determined by the "air valve spring windup" setting."

Dang, how many models did they make? ;-)
This carb has the mechanical bi-metal "spring" that's attached to the manifold. I think that's what you were referring to? There is no "wind up" spring assembly, just the vaccume pull off that the air valve rod rides in and the bi-metal spring that (I think, I gotta get under the hood to look at it again) keeps the butterflies from opening completely via the small cams.
BTW, for you Q-Jet gurus, the model number stamped on the carb is 17057213. I'm including the number as a longshot because while the carb kit had the right parts, the model number seems like an oddball.
