Title: Gas pedal - years ?
Post by: Reeves1 on July 09, 2016, 07:22:28 PM

I know 71 & 72 are the same.

I know 74 and up are different.

Anyone know if a 73 is the same as the 71 & 72 ?

 I'll pull the one from my 73 and see if it is a match, if you still need one.

Since I have make similar errors I should be the last person to say anything but... . To help in future searches you might want to change the title of the post. It is listed as "peddle" - which mean to sell.  You have the correct use in the #4 post "pedal" - the device you press your foot against. Petal, peddle, petal. There, I just put all three in this sentence since it is such a common error, and now anyone search should find it.

LOL!  It's a tough language!  A flower has petals, a car has pedals, and a junk yard owner peddles his parts! ::)

It's really a "chummy thing" as I heard from a Newfie one time  ;D

Pin hole that holds the plastic thingy you stomp on is broken  ;D

I just pulled the pedal out of my 73 parts car and I'm here to say it's not
like the one in your picture. It goes straight up from the pivot. My guess is
71 & 72 are by themselves. The mounting of the bracket is also wrong as
for the pic.

Looks like you discovered yet another 73 change.
