Gas pedal (part 2)

I am also new to the Pantera game, but on my car there is no spring on the pedal, only on the carb, that pulls the cable,pedal and all.

Yes, this is what I am finding to be the case. So I must assume some previous owner did this kludge for some unknown reason. I just bought an aftermarket Holley bracket
with dual springs to solve my problem. There is currently only one spring attached to the
carb and it's long, light, and also seems to
be a kludge of sorts. Can't wait to try the
new spring setup and (maybe) drive the car.

No, NO, NO I live in Larksville PA. USAand I had mine snap on me while I was driving hard two months ago. YOu can Tig weld the pedal or buy a new one. Hall pantera is where I bought mine. For as far as the spring for the gas pedal you were right at first there is a spring and although I'mm Italian I still say they did a cheap loosey job on it. They just drilled a small hole into the shaft of the pedal then attach a spring to it (The spring only works so well which isn't very good.) My pedal also broke right where the hole was drilled. It creates an inherant weakness. Try Hall Pantera for the spring.
