I was just messing with the gas pedal out of my 67, so I'd thought I'd share some pics..
Sorry for poor quality pics.. you can see the cut out in the threaded end for the second piece. My top linkage was very loose(like whats been brought up) and even looks to be repaired at some point. Even with the nut tight, there was movement in the top linkage. Think I might put something in the gap to take up the slack or make some hilly billy magic happen..
Hope these pics clears up any confusion that might be out there
