[Healeys] ACCELERATOR PEDAL / HEEL TOE / Disaster...

[Peter Linn]

Do the 6 cyls have the same organ pedal type throttle pedal as the 4 cyls? 
If so - I simply attached a 1/2" thick x 1" x 2" block of rubber with wiring 
ties about 2" up from the pivot of the throttle pedal - allows heel & toe 
but doesn't inerefere with normal use of the throttle pedal.

Cheers
