accelorater / gas pedal... w/ V-8
sup everyone, as you know i am putting that 50 GMC back together now. i got most "instruments" hooked up, shifter, steering, brakes. but the gas pedal i am not sure what to do. i need to keep the stock pedal but its designed to "push" the throttle, while now the V-8 SBC requires the throttle to be "pulled".
what are you guys doing to convert the push pedal to a pull pedal??? thanks! Yaril |

Re: accelorater / gas pedal... w/ V-8
ok, looked in my friends 53 Bel-air and this is similar to what he has. you push on the pedal then the top arm pulls on the cable...

Thanks Frenchblue. I was thinking about the mechanical linkage that is bolted to the firewall.
