My '60 235 is currently connected like this, but I ordered the clip that mounts to the oil pan so the spring would pull down. I did have to shorten the connecting rod from the pedal to the pivot. I cut to length and heated the end before bending the end at 90 degrees, then drilled a hole for a cotter pin. My current setup does allow for a smooth pedal right now and I'll see if having the spring pull straight down makes it better.
