What's wrong in these pictures???

Installed new clutch and went about adjusting to 1.2 cable off 1.0 cable on and everything looks great including foot pedal. The problem is when I push in the clutch pedal in the omega spring goes to the other side (pic #2) I move it back and the same thing happens. On my 78 the HE held the omega spring in position but on this car I'm running B&B headers so that space is open. Did a search but couldn't find a siimilar problem. Anybody have any ideas? Am I doing something wrong.

Got the spring on upside down?

Mine did exactly the same thing when I rebuilt last year. Turned out to be the adjustment. Seems to be a very fine line.

Is it rubbing and hanging up on the case?

Asking. I'm not even sure it's possible to put it on upside down, but it seemed a likely explanation. Less likely with the shop manual scan you posted.

Wilke is probably correct,

Isn't that the intended action of the spring? Does the pedal feel ok? I'd go have a llok at mine but it's not parked at my house here.

dentist90 no there is nothing around to rub on. The spring just springs over.

ianc I also think that Wilke could be right I'll have to try tomorrow. Thanks for you help.

Jwetering when the spring goes over the pedal becomes a spongie hard fell if that makes sense.
