I searched and didn't see mention of this issue...
In the process of reassembling my 1970 40 series and am curious if the gas pedal is performing normal. I'm running a late model 2f and Aisin carb, with bell crank and new throttle cable. Also running the 1970 period correct pedal with firewall bracket.
My issue is that when pressure is applied to the pedal, it wants to bind, requiring more pressure then it sorta breaks free and rotates appropriately. After inspection, the rod (from the pedal) that passes through the spring and bracket mounted on the firewall is grooved (I'll get a pic up later today) from what I assume is 40 years of service. I checked the SOR diagrams and I've got the bracket, spring, and washer installed appropriately. The cable does not appear to be the issue as it moves freely when pulling on it by hand.
Would a new pedal remediate this binding or do I need to adjust something so the pedal operates (pushes down without binding) correctly.
