Rich---You're right about the gas pedal sometimes being set too high for
leg comfort. I've seen TR's with this pedal higher than the brake/clutch
pedals at rest. As you know, it can be set even with, or as much as an
inch below the brake pedal. Sometimes a little re-curving is necessary
with this (soft) metal, while taking advantage of the throttle stop
adjustment bolt at the pedal base.
Anyone doing any of the above should be sure that they're still getting
full throttle at the carbs, without jamming them on "open." This can be
checked by taking the spring clip off at the throttle linkage and
working it by hand, then try putting this clip back on while at "full
throttle." (Engine not running, of course.) The pedal should bottom out
slightly before the linkage is used up. Also be careful that the carpet
doesn't interfere in any way...
