That accelerator pivot is definitely different...couldn't you modify the one he picked up, at least for now?

I could modify it and I might have to. One thing I can tell thats different from the one I have to the one that belongs is the pivat piece on the link on the passenger side is different than what is supposed to be there.
But hip if you can look at yours and compare for me :awesomework:

Thanks for the ilustration Torry. Ya I have all the parts just not the right link piece...

I had asked my dad if his under dash lamps ever worked--he looked at me and said "there was underdash lamps" ha ha ha. Ya I guess they never worked,lol.
Well I cleaned and painted the mounts and new bulbs and got them installed on both passenger/driver side.

One thing I have been trying to get to was the rear passenger windows. The driver side needed help to roll it up/down and the passenger, well it fell down and won't go back up. Wellsince my list of need to do's before paint is getting small and my needed parts is smaller I figured I would dive into them.
Started by tearing apart the drivers side. It actually was easier than I thought. Started by removing the one remocable guide rail, the regulator and then you remove the main track assembly, slide the window out then the track assembly.
I cleaned the window, polished the chrome to remove the black overspray from when the interior was painted. I sanded down all the guides and emeryclothed the plastic parts that ride in the guides lightly.
All ready to go back together.
So I lubed all the tracks and reinstalled everything back into the drivers side. Now the widow moves like silk and works pretty good. You can tell there is a little wear on the regulator and other components but in all its really good.
I then tore down the passenger side. The main roller had popped off the guide on the bottom of the window. That was probably due to too much force to overcome the rusted tracks. I should be able to fix this side up too.. Will know more later tonight.

That's almost weird....
No, that is weird... Especially watching you polish the pivot and watching 'Date Night'...

So I worked the back windows up/down a dozen times and the grease has worked its way into everything and they now work like silk.

So like I had mentioned earlier I was going to make the accelerator rod we had work. Well it took allot of work and allot of in/out to get it right. I am very confident its going to work perfect and it seems to.
I am not 100% sure on the pedal location as it sits. I won't know till the interior is in to be 100% certain on it--but it looks pretty close.
In order to make the passenger side mount I flipped it(once the rod was cut I was able to remove it) and notched it for brake line clearance.
I lengthened and bent the rod accordingly and was able to get the geometry right on the money. I still need to make a tab off the bottom of the rod for the return spring to sit. But clearance to the intake manifold and the angles on the pivat points are right on.
Due to the carb being different than the stock one I am pretty certain the linkage mounts are too. So I had to slightly modify the carb(removed one ball pivat) and made a new mount for the linkage to mount to. It turned out pretty good and when the throttle linkage goes from idle to wot its perfect.
So I pulled it last night and added a tab for the return spring and painted it all up. I will have that installed tonight.

Might be just a tad far to the right, like .25"....but it is really close!!!:awesomework:

I was gonna suggest how easy it would be to just modify the linkage you have instead of going on a wild goose hunt for something you could make in less time than looking for one.
But then you wouldnt have done it.
