Four speed swap in a 66 Coronet. after assembly the clutch pedal will not return into its upright position. The return spring does not seem strong enough to achieve this. What am I missing?

Hit the search button "clutch pedal won't return". It's not actually any of the springs job to return the pedal, the pressure plate does that.

Is the over center spring installed along with the return spring on the linkage? Is it a finger clutch or a diaphragm clutch?

If a person leaves the over Center spring in place and uses a diaphragm clutch this can happen. You must remove the over Center spring to use a diaphragm clutch. This is probably where roadhog was heading….

If you have quite a bit of free play, try removing some of it and see if that helps.
