accelerator

so my gas pedal just fell off. seriously. something broke but i'm not familiar with how the assembly works or how to put it back together/fix it. any thoughts?

i know that's kind of vague but maybe someone can tell me where i can find a replacement assembly?

What year is your car?

my bad, i forget that it's not in my signature. it's a 74.

Mine fell off before too. The pin that holds the pedal to the shaft snapped. Just get a new pin or put something in place that's similar in size to what broke.

I put a small nut and bolt in mine.It still is working.It is a pain to get the spring to stay in place.:D

yeah i think i did that too last time it happened...now they're gone. guess i'll loctite it this time. i just have to make sure i can find all the pieces!

Too much driving WFO???

Kev:)

can you really HAVE too much WFO? i think we all know the answer to that....

why not just BOLT it to the floor ??? ;) :D :D :D

Shhheeeeetttttt...John...dont bolt it to the floor...If ya want to go REALLLLLYYYY fast you need to cut a hole in the floor so you can push the peddle farther...THATS how you go faster my friend....this gofast tip is somewhat based on the "my amp goes to 11" theroy....:D :)

why not just make ten louder....:D

Man !!! yer BRAVE !!! :rolleyes: :D :D :D

This is the underside of a 3rd Gen. pedal and its spring configuration:
