RE: [T3] Accelerator Pedal


I didn't have any assy, I think I have what Hal mentioned, maybe the assy
didn't come out till 66.  Everything is greased up real good and I don't
think there will be salty feet in THIS car ever again!

Sounds like it's been "fixed." Early cars had a separate folded sheet 
steel frame for the accel pedal only, which bolted under the same 
bolts that hold the main alum casting (that holds the bearing for the 
clutch and brake pedal) in place. That frame was a real pain to hold 
in alignment at the same time that you also had to hold the casting 
and the clutch and brake pedals. I know that '66 has the 2-part assy, 
but by '68 it was one piece. I'd say that the late pedal assy would 
be a nice upgrade for an early car, but you still have to worry about 
that hinge pin which corrodes to the frame.
