Gas Pedal "geometry" help

[mdwilf]

I might have messed myself up - I need a little help. My truck came with a factory Holley 4 barrel that was pretty cantankerous, so I swapped it for a Qua----- (I know, I know). Anyway, when I did my floor work, I did away with the studs for the floor mounted gas pedal & welded an end on so I could use a "floating" (not mounted to the floor) pedal.

Anyway, all was well until I figured out that the pedal did not have enough travel to open the secondaries all the way. Once I adjusted things so they opened up, the pedal is way too high inside. I think the problem is not my messing with the pedal as much as it is that the carb has a longer "throw" from idle to wide open than the original.

Any thoughts to help?

Thanks

If you can lengthen the rod end under the hood and attach farther from the pivot the travel will be longer and you can get the pedal closer to comfortable.

Or switch to a 71/72 cable pedal with an adapter or do the mods from the FAQ.

(Can't find the FAQ for modifying the pedal. I think Putter did it but still can't find it)

Wait, I did find it. Just slept since then.
