'72 Campy Nuovo Record Dérailleur Rebuild Question

Hello Fellow Bikers,

I just took apart and cleaned my '72 Campy Nuovo Record dérailleur, but am not sure how much tension the jockey pully cage needs. I gave the cage one spin, and it's pretty tight. So much so, that the chain is under too much strain for any smooth forward pedalling. Of course, I installed the cage the first time with NO spin and there was not any tension to pull the chain backwards. My thinking was one spin, but that's too much as I've said.

If anyone is familiar with the proper procedure, I'd love to know about it. Perhaps, I've got the tension spring in the lower body in the wrong position. Hmm, any help is appreciated.

Best Regards,
Jack
