    Im not sure were the two throwout lever springs go on the buick 225 with t86 go?
    After reading that throwout spring post I looked it up on my chiltons repair manual, and
    Now I am so confused.

    It looks like the outer spring(throwout return spring) goes on the end of the clutch fork.
    Were does the other go? There is two holes on the bell housing that looks like its for a spring
    But im not sure.

    The return (hold back) spring should be mounted in as straight a pull as possible from the throw-out control arm to the front of the bell-housing. I made a bracket that mounts to the bell-housing bolt and extends out with small spring hole to align the spring. I used a piece of 1/8" by 1-1/2" flat stock.
