Heavier throttle return spring

Car is a '74 911 with a 3.6. The throttle feel is just too light for my liking. Is there a stronger throttle return spring available? Or a better way to solve this?

Thanks,
--Pete

I attached a spring between the pivot arm on the bellcrank at the transmission and the side cover plate of the transmission. You can stretch the spring to adjust the amount of tension. Pretty simple solution, but very effective!

Is your linkage taut. When I tightened up all my linkage the throttle pedal got harder to push.
