thanks for the replies. I read through Markeb01 build thread and it is pretty clear. I think I am simply confusing myself and should had inspected the '79 assembly while in that truck closer before removal. after some thought my guess is the pedal at rest (no throttle) should basically hang from the firewall mounting point and not be resting on the floor. Sound right? and then as I depress finally reaching WOT the pedal and pedal rod finally come into contact with the floor/ firewall at WOT to limit the strain on the throttle cable assembly by over extending.
