If this is addressed to me, I do not use a pedal. I bent (and I think cut off a little) of the inside arm to get it where it felt right for me. The outside part if a pressed, maybe spot welded, fit to the shaft, never had to rotate it, I make the linkage from the arm to the carb adjustable so idle keeps the inside lever as low as possible while allowing WOT. What you are showing is from something else, I sold both the stock 74 throttles from my donor trucks. They are similar, bolt to the firewall with cable pull. If you look at the domed part of the firewall there is a recess for the V-8 throttle linkage. Mine actually came off of a 62 truck they are all similar thru 66.
