Thanks for the replys guys. I figured it wouldn't work, but I thought a rod would be cool. Would a pedal from a 67 and up A body work? I may have trouble finding one off an early A v8 car.
First of all if you look at the floorboard around the throttle area you will see some dimples in the sheet metal.These are the holes for the factory V8 throttle pedal.This is why I like the early V8 gas pedal,you know where to drill.Yes it is harder to find,but worth it if you can.
A 67 and later pedal will work fine,you will just have to find the right location and drill accordingly.Plus you wont have the DOT style pedal to match your brake/clutch pedals.
