70 Swinger over center clutch spring

The OC spring is there to help bring the clutch pedal back up off the floor when your shift is done. It does not assist with pushing the clutch to the floor. I think that's what you were saying. I may have mis-read the question.
Press clutch pedal down, the spring is extended. Let off the clutch pedal and the spring resistance pulls the pedal back to it's resting spot.

The over center spring is used to help assist in pushing the pedal . That is why when the linkage is not hooked up the pedal slams to the floor once it goes over center. You remove it for a diaphragm style because there is no centrifical weights to engage the clutch . If you have a Diaphragm clutch and you shift at High RPMs the overcenter spring will hold the pedal down until the RPM's come down.

If your pedal is hard to push you have a linkage binding issue or a Borg&Beck three finger style clutch. If you do have a B&B clutch set up you need the spring
