Default Fuel Tank Door Spring???

Does a 70 C3 have a spring on the fuel tank door? Bought one for 71 to 78 but don't see any way of installing it on my car.

No springs other than the ones under the nylon detent pins that hold it up once it is opened.

Thanks for the reply. The door on mine wants to flop closed after opening.
