I'm presently putting a '70 challenger back together and need a little advice.
I have a spring that I had tagged " brake return spring " . This is an auto trans car.
I can't find an obvious place on the brake pedal arm to install a return spring.
Is the spring for the break pedal or is it for the emergency brake pedal ???

Your advice would certainly be appreciated.

If it is the spring for the brake pedal linkage on a power brake application it clips onto the pedal linkage push rod on one end and to the top of the brake pedal metal bracket on the other end. As Leo mentioned a pic would be good so we know for sure.

Thanks again for your help, I'll give this a try as per your pictures.
Have a great Christmas and maybe Santa will leave a Hemi 'cuda under your tree.

As far as I can tell, the spring keeps the bake pedal arm up and maintains pressure
on the brake lights switch.

I don't think the mopar dealers could help so it's a visit to the auto wrecker.

This is a real simple assembly so I'm guessing that all mopars from that era had that
kind of an installation.
