1972 Corvette Gas Pedal

[Christopher R.]

I have too much play in the gas pedal before it engages the carburetor. it is really sloppy, i bought a new cable, new holder at the firewall (plastic holder). Any ideas on how to correct this issue to get the most out of my engine? Thanks!

Hi Christopher,
Is the carburetor connection end of the cable in the proper hole in the linkage and is the spring proper installed so the linkage travels to it's full closed distance?
Regards,
Alan

any ideas as to how to get a good seal from the carb to the intake manifold? I have tried new gaskets, torquing the bolts in the proper sequence and i still have a leak on the passenger side right next to where the choke assembly is, this is obviously causing me drivability issues and issues with the vacuum operated items like the wiper door and headlights.
