Gas - Accelerator Pedal placement on new floor pans?

[Rocket]

I tried searching this on the forums but the posts are old and the photos aren't showing up.

I replaced the original floor pans so I no longer have the original holes as a guide. Is there a measurement from the firewall or photos of original holes? I don't have the carpet in yet and driving without the pedal is precarious. Thanks!

What car and exactly what measurements do you need?

Sorry...It's a 1969 Road Runner . Any measurements that would help me locate the original position of the gas pedal...from the firewall to the holes and something from the side.

OK, I measured 12" from the bottom edge of the gas pedal rod where it mounts to the firewall down to the left edge of the gas pedal where it meets the floor, and 15" from the inboard edge of the dimmer switch to the same point on the pedal (that was the straightest and flattest line I could get).

Thanks Ranger! I will be installing it this week. Appreciate that.

I am going to be replacing my carpet soon. How is the pedal attached to the floor? Ball & sockets?

Studs on the pedal and two nuts under the car, well three when you get under there LOL

I was afraid someone would say that.

Just reread it and got the joke. Three when I get under the car is a given. When I said "I was afraid someone would say that", I was referring to being bolted in. Seems I'm spending more time under it than in it. Not to mention one of the bolts is bound to snap off.
