Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
After getting the Wilwood clutch & brake pedal location figured out on the Charger the next thing we'd tackled was the throttle pedal. Spence wanted it to match the stuff from Wilwood but we couldn't find anything available. He did decide to buy an aftermarket assembly made by Offenhauser.
It provided us with a pivot assembly that would exit the firewall at a higher location which was better suited for the height of the blower carbs. The workmanship was poor but we were confident that we could bush it to give it a smoother action. The pedal itself did not match the Wilwood pedals so our best bet seemed to be to make one ourselves. It's just roughed in right now. We had to extend the arm to make it feel right when sitting in the car. When we're done we'll clean the assembly up more.
