I did notice the spring was all stretched out, not sure how important
that is or if I can get away with stretching it some more.

Probably:

The spring is probably fine, that's the way it is.

If you follow the diagrahms at that link you'll be installing the
govenor spring link BACKWARDS.
The short wire section of the link goes into the lower hole on the
govenor control arm not the spring.
Insert the wire through the front of the hole and the spring goes onto
the throttle link arm on the throttle plate assembly.

Functionally, they are equivalent. The only issue is whether parts
interfere. There have been all sorts of arrangements depending on model.
The important thing is that the solid wire goes between the governer lever
and throttle plate on the carb. The spring'd wire goes between the governor
lever and throttle control (or fixed location if non-adjustable).
And, yes, which hole in the governer lever are used for each matter!
