Brake Pedal Return Spring
I am redoing all the brake hardware on a manual disc/drum (pads & shoes, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, etc....) and the rear Strange C-Clip eliminator kit on my 69'. Changed the latter over to studs versus bolts.
I realized the brake pedal does not return to an UP position. Is there supposed to be a return spring such as attached in the links below? I have read conflicting information regarding its usage. 1) Manual vs. Power brakes and 2) Auto versus Manual transmission brake setups. Thank you. https://www.firebirdcentral.com/1967...p/ppd-831b.htm https://www.npdlink.com/product/brak...on/154374/1754 https://www.heartbeatcitycamaro.com/...GM%23-3850084/

If this helps others.....
There is also reference in the factory manuals to Cruise Control vehicles having the spring. See related pic below.

My '68 with manual drum brakes has one.
