Frank,\ Didnt they have Linkage instead of a cable in 68? I know the AMX did. I believe that is his issue. I would swap over to a later model cable setup if it were mine. Swap out the pedal and cable.

Just change the cable and the brackets on the intake. The cable may even be long enough. I think most of the guys who say the linkage needs to be changed are talking about the later model cars. The 72+ models use a throttle cable also, but they have a link down to the transmission that must be changed. If you're running the original 68 Borg-Warner auto or a manual trans you won't have that problem. How far is Spring Lake from Charlotte?
