Dodge Dart Lite

I had this problem back when, does the lever have a "lip" on it?
Seems it should sit below the center line of the adjuster. I looked in an 83 Chiltons manual in the "universal" brake section. Not a good enough drawing. The two brake component catalogs I have do not include any pictures/diagrams. The one thing I did notice was there was a spring to the cable from the shoe. Is that on yours or maybe a different year design?
