Using in conjunction with a throttle stop? If so a rigid mounting, and pedal stop are of paramount importance. "Livin' in a powder keg and givin' off sparks" 4 Street cars, 5 Race engines

I have a S&W gas pedal in mine that bolts into the stock location and simple 1/4 rod ends. Speedway makes a nice rod thats annodized purple. $20.00 http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Aluminum-Accelerator-Linkage-Rod,1604.html BB, TT5,Procharged 3300lb Street Car 4.79/154
