Reply to "gas pedal"

My car has been modified so much that I do not know what is stock any more but, here is my two cents.
First make sure the spring under the gas pedal is under tension.
Second there are two adjustments, one at the peddle and one at the carb. I have a Holly carb and there is an adjustment at the throttle on the right hand side of the carb.
Third, this is a cable system, therefor it may become sticky due to contaminates between the cable and the housing.
Anouther possible problem is that something is interfering with the cable just after the peddle. You can take off the plastic panel just inboard of the peddle and see if there is any obstructions.
If you choose to lub the the cable use a graphite, dry lubercant. If you use a wet lubercant it will collect dust and the problem will get worse.
Hope this helps
