Hi - I would like to follow Gary's question up with a related question. The shaft on my 65 A-body gas pedal keeps slipping enough to make the pedal flop but not enough to easily extricate it without removing the rug, console, etc. I am wondering if there is a C-ring at the end of the shaft that keeps it in place or something else. Does anyone know? I would like to know what I am getting into before I remove the rug, etc. Bob from Maine.
