Hood pop up spring

It does not look like there is a tab at all. Are you are saying that the spring sits on the support and the last coil sits inside that hole? I am not seeing how that works. The car in question is a 70 Dart. Here is a more detailed pic.

Hm, that's strange.
I have seen them that the spring screws into those to holes but the holes were offset vertically to allow it. (which that spring can't do anyway with that end sticking out like that)
Also ones that have a hold down bracket, but yours doesn't have the bolt hole for a bracket.
Could it have been filled like was mentioned?

Stick with me for a few if you can and I'm going to research that.
