Is this the wrong spring or what.. I cant figure out how it goes on...

Wow, an easy one and no responses! That is the spring that goes on the arm at the transmission. There is no clutch spring at the pedals.

ah ok, I bought it off ebay with no spring and looking at pics I assumed that there were two springs, the clutch and the throtttle... but really just the throttle on the pedal... thanks! any idea what year it is from? it looks like they are broken up between 65 for the throttle stuff

There is a brake pedal spring.... And its not the one in your picture... The one in your picture goes on clutch arm at trans axle....

The brake pedal spring does not have bend at end to capture arm...

There is not a spring on the clutch pedal. It just flops freely. When you hook up the clutch cable and adjust it at the trans, that big spring on the trans arm pulls the cable and that pulls the pedal up.

You also need to replace the hook shaft on the pedal assemblly. The hook the clutch cable hooks on to is wore out in your picure. http://www.cbperformance.com/catalog.asp?ProductID=935

Experience, and these things called books. Specifically service/repair manuals.
