accelerator

[sproosemoose]

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?

[sproosemoose]

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?

[sproosemoose]

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

[sproosemoose]

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 :)
