Broken parking brake and drum spring.

I basically have a few questions regarding drum brakes on my 84 camaro with an open rear.

A few years ago my parking brake snapped. The play in the handle had no tension. Is it possible that a spring in the drum broke and caused this lack of tension?

I have a broken spring in the drum. This spring is in the 6 o clock position and is basically hanging free. Can someone help me out with a part number and a brief explanation of what is involved in fixing it?

Would it be a smarter decision to just upgrade rears to something with posi and a better gear ratio?
