Engine Clutch cable

Hello everyone,
I recently bought a 1975 mustang ii 2.3L 4cyl, 4 speed manual. The clutch cable has a broken spring. And was wondering if anyone knew where to find a A spring. Or knew if a clutch cable for a 2.8/5.0 is compatible with a 2.3. The new clutch cable I’ve purchased came without a spring. And I’ve been scouring the web trying to find anything that remotely resembles the spring I have now. Any help is greatly appreciated

In my opinion, don't worry about the spring. I took mine off because it was binding on the cable at full compression. When you have the clutch tightened up you'll be fine.
 
I believe that spring's sole function is to keep the cable attached to the fork when there is absolutely no tension on it. I mean it really serves no purpose when the car is in running condition other than to bind when pressing the clutch in if the cable is too short on that end. Like @Enzio says, I wouldn't worry much about it unless someone else has a better explanation. :shrug:
