Re: Accelerator Pedal Rod

I am not sure. If you posted a pic, I think we might have better luck helping you.

Re: Accelerator Pedal Rod

Here is a pic I found if you look at the carb its the rod running to it from the pedal assembly....

Re: Accelerator Pedal Rod

I believe the 6 cylinder rod is longer.

I ended up making one out of 1/4" rod and threading it for the fitting.

Re: Accelerator Pedal Rod

I also had to make my own with 1/4" threaded rod, got the idea from someone on this board. Bought a swivel joint for the carb end from here: www.mcmaster.com I also slid the rod into a cut length of coated brake line to make it look better.

Re: Accelerator Pedal Rod

You would think they would make something like this for the aftermarket...Mine is all bent up and when the truck was running it didnt fit with the edelbrock carb but it did fit with the quadrajet that was on there before my dad took it off....
