Sure it's not an over-center spring? (if your car is a manual trans..)

If you look above the linkage rod you'll see two slots in the pedal hanger bracket... one end of the spring goes into those slots... then below the slots there is a groove machined into the connecting link from the pedal to the bellcrank... The other end of the spring fits into that groove....

That little spring isn`t in any parts book I have ever seen but i`ve found `em on lots of original cars we parted.
