Yes his car is all together but he needs to remove all the electronics not needed with a 5 speed and go through the carbs to get its started. |

Odd question. I am using the factory V8 pedal assembly in my car but never had the floor mounted pedal. Does anyone know how high the bracket that was welded to the floor is? I can make something work but if anyone has one to look at please let me know. I will have carpet back in the car eventually, so I don't want to make it too low. |

If you can get in touch with Venables he has a 66 with the brackets in with no carpet.

I don't think the fulcrum point matters too much here. I have one on my '64 and on the '62 with a different floor pan. I also have one attached to a bar of steel on my other '62 so that I can drive it. The floor is rusted away on that car. If you eyeball it, it will be good. Did you get a few runs on Sat / Sunday at mason dixon? Our track was canceled on both Saturday and Sunday due to being too wet and muddy. Greg |

No we were canceled due to 50 MPH wind gusts. I would have run 12.50's if we ran!

Here is a picture of Ryan towing with the Dart Greg. Super stock springs in the back made it pretty stable I think. with a super light car and trailer. Attachment: 248891799_4675828219104780_3019566574743429863_n.jpg [ 30.08 KiB | Viewed 597 times ] |

Attachment: IMG_8519.JPG [ 86.66 KiB | Viewed 617 times ] Made the bracket for the floor and installed the gas pedal and all new pedal pads. Now all the people the bugged me about not having a gas pedal can just buzz off! All I can say is I liked it fine without the pedal, maybe even better! It just better be faster! Also installed the new clutch pedal I made with new bushings so I am ready for next winters thrash!

Awesome cool stuff. I am not sure I was around or paid attention when Ryan towed blue with yellow. Good 'ol times! |

Also installed the new clutch pedal I made with new bushings so I am ready for next winters thrash!Those tall stock accelerator pedals are great for heel-toe-downshifting. Not sure that you need that or care, but it looks great. I don't think I ever gave you gruff about your no go pedal? I don't think Ron Hamby had one, and he had no problems getting it done! See you soon |
