I pulled the steering column and pedal cluster to install the ball bearing conversion. The pedal support needs to be modified so I will be taking it over to ensign autobody where I have access to a welder and all of the other metal working tools. ![http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/5893/img3279i.jpg](http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/5893/img3279i.jpg) ![http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/6413/img3278v.jpg](http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/6413/img3278v.jpg) While I everything was out I noticed that the gas pedal had very little travel, and upon further investigation found that it was only opening the throttle body about 75% which explains why the car was so slow. The original 67 pedal was linkage design so I am running a 69 pedal that has a different design that I modified to run the throttle cable. ![http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/3652/img3281jg.jpg](http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/3652/img3281jg.jpg) so I will be making a spacer to put between teh floor and the pedal bracket to raise it up an inch or so, which will also make the gas pedal just about even with the brake pedal. ![http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/9546/img3280t.jpg](http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/9546/img3280t.jpg) ---
