Thought to post my results for the next guy after taking the night to get a fresh look at the spring issue
I needed to also remove the "metal" knee panel and a second ac/heater (left side dash) conduit. Much better visibility and access.
I threaded a poly cord line thru under the steering wheel column, and looped it onto the pedal spring, pulled the spring up and back and let it come to rest on the pedal lever notch in front of the cable loop.
While my old FEBI cable was looking pretty good and had about 1/2 inch of exposed plastic expander threads showing, the new cable full seemed slightly shorter before stretching or any expansion .
I had contracted ( had no threads showing) on the plastic length adjuster/expander. I still had to slightly pry the lever arm aft to get the front knob to seat in the clutch lever groove.
There is no play which i would like to see- but I figure that with a few days of driving and shifting the cable rubber nose wedged in the tranny mounted groove holder will seat/compress and the cable may stretch 1/8 inch or so to loosely seat in the lever arm grove -totally unloading the lever arm. I will be checking the cable tension again over the next few days
Hope this post mortem helps some one
