As a new member I have enjoyed following the discussions here, even if some are far above my primitive knowledge level. Also my thanks to Hank and all the members who so warmly welcomed me and shared their expertise at Hershey. I need to
tap into that expertise to solve a new issue. After an uneventful trip to and from Hershey and another to our family cottage in the Finger lakes, I ran into trouble in attempting to return. I realized I had the pedal to the floor just going up the hill of our driveway and I was creeping
along. I managed to turn around at a nearby ice cream stand and get back down the hill to safe parking. I had limited time to study the problem but here are the few facts I have: -the gas pedal just flops loosely but if pulled back to vertical causes some acceleration -at the other end, starting at the carburetor things are tight and working, until I get back to near the firewall and below where I could easily reach, there things are loose Forgive the ignorance revealed in the above description (and feel free to roll your eyes!) I can fix people, houses and sailboats but have light years to go on automotive repair. Until getting my K, I had no interest in the subject, but
now I am anxious to learn. When I get back to the car this weekend what should I be looking for? I am envisioning some kind of broken rod or is it a cable connection? Is it likely something I can access without a lift or should I just get it towed to a garage and
hope someone there has seen a car of this vintage before? Any and all assistance greatly appreciated. Kevin R.
