Hey guys! for the last couple of nights Ive been installing a new carpet in my '69 Super Bee w/ auto. I see the Moparts posts related to proper positioning of the gas pedal on the heel pad, and have attempted to duplicate those, with the pedal located on the front right side of the pad. My problem is that when I finally get the carpet far enough forward to position the pedal on the pad, the front carpet no longer overlaps the rear and the molding of the carpet no longer matches the contours of the floor. Looks to me like the heel pad on this carpet is installed maybe a few inches too far back. is this common to all ACC carpets? I ended up having to install the gas pedal with it just barely overlapping the front of the heel pad. Thanks! Paul

Put ACC in my Charger and had enough to go everywhere and look right.

FWIW it sounds like you tried to do match the factory position.. I saved this photo a couple years ago, an original carpet with the factory cutout for the accelerator pedal...

Thanks guys! You wonder why they cant make carpet that just fits... with all the trimming and holes punched out. If they could do it for the assembly line when the cars were new, why cant they do it today? I know its supposed to be due to production tolerances in the cars, but come on... how far off are tolerances on the floor pan really? Thanks!
