Re: {Chrysler 300} '64 Torqueflite Throttle Linkage Adjustment

Diagram shows #6 (The Pedal Rod).

The lower portion of that rod has an end that screws in or out to extend or shorten the length of that rod.

And that adjustment allows for the 113 to 115 degree angle.

Its Step #1 of the overall adjustment procedure, after sliding in that rod on the firewall.

Once I really worked out that step; it immensely helped the overall set up of the linkage for my 1962 300 & the feel of the pedal.

I never thought out that step was a big enough deal to be concerned about; but it is.

I finally went and bought one of these….

Hello, everyone:

Following the manual diagram (page 21-49) to adjust the trans linkage for the correct pedal height, everything is fine until I attach pedal rod to the accelerator shaft bracket. The pedal drops way below 113-115 deg. (after removing the 3/16" rod) and will press down only about an inch. I tried several times reassembling the linkage with the same result.

Any suggestions?

Best,
