El Camino update.

The last time we had the car out was in early Dec. When the gas pedal was floored not much happened in the way of blazing acceleration. Today I got a new catalog from Jeg's and as I was perusing it I remembered about the go problem. I opened the hood and found that the carb was only opening about half way if that. The pedal just didn't have that much movement. If I cut the rug away it would work right. I pulled the cable through the pedal arm and there was an inch of cable not being used. I made a spacer and put it between the cable end ball and the pedal arm. Now the carb opens about 95%. I may have to drill a hole in the carb throttle arm closer to the pivot.
