The gas pedal in my bucket is extremely touchy. It's so bad, anything more than a featherweight press causes it to shoot out of traffic lights and stop signs like a rocket. I can't even maintain constant cruise going over bumps. There's almost no free play at top of the pedal, and it hits full throttle about 1/2" off the floor. That means I won't gain much to simply use a larger lever at the carb and spread out the throttle operation over a larger arc. What I really need is a pedal that can go to about one-third throttle over 80% of its movement, then go to full throttle the last 20%. Does anyone know if there's any sort of cam-operated throttle linkage that would provide this function? FWIW, here's a pic of the gas pedal. I don't know who made it, but moving it or changing it significantly would mean drilling more holes in the stainless firewall. Because of that, I'd like to make whatever changes I can at the carb (Edelbrock 1406).
Incidentally, the bracket at the top of the pedal was reversed (facing the firewall) before I started working on it today. Because of that, the carb was only opening a little more than half way. SURPRISE!!
