The gas pedal has 1 adjustment at the lever arm. You can set it up any
way you like for wide open throttle and height of the pedal. Adjust it to
a comfortable position and then look for wide open throttle position. If
you don't run at WOT, you don't have to adjust it to get full WOT but you
should be near there for when its needed.
The upper stop hits the flat disc on the lever arm. I think it is mostly
for a rattle stop and I'm not sure it is really needed in every case.
My gas pedal has a slight rattle now and then, so I don't have my upper stop
just right yet.

With the stock throttle rod assy. and a 4160 Holley on a Performer manifold
the pedal doesn't quite reach the lower stop (without carpet...). The upper
stop doesn't come anywhere near the "U-shaped" throttle upper bar on mine;
I've been looking for an excuse to ask the group about that (The cable gets
replaced by a Lokar cable once the engine is spun up and I know there are no
other problems.).
So, Thanks Erich for bringing it up, and, Ron, your thoughts... what am I
missing?

I'm not sure how this was originally. I found that if the carpet
is thin enough you can mount it under the carpet, if the carpet is thick you
have to mount it on the top of the carpet or cut the carpet. You never want
the carpet or the screws interfering with the action of the pedal.
There are 2 stops; 1 high on near the U shaped piece and 1 low for
the pedal. I don't have any carpet there at this time but these can go
through the carpet.

A silly question.
Does the mount for the throttle pedal go under the carpet or on top of it? I
talking about the U shaped piece that is secured to the tranny hump with 3
screws.
Same question for the pedal stop that mounts to the side of the tranny hump.
