Accelerator rod boot
Accelerator rod boot
Is anyone remaking these? Ive searched all over internet "havnt called anyone yet" with no luck to a listing for 61-71? not sure what years are the same rod assembly? I have a 67 d100. Ive tried making my own but i havnt fugured it out yet. Or gotton one to work. Its agrivating having a 2 inch hole in the firewall letting in fumes and such!

Re: Accelerator rod boot
Great question. I've looked off and on for the last few years and haven't found anything.

MIGHT try looking at electrical grommets with 2" dia and smaller [1/4"?] inner.
They come with variable 'lips' that should fit the tin on the firewall and be fairly fume and water tight.

Nope. '69 and earlier use a rod. The '69 has a hanging pedal w/rod while '68 and back bolt to the floor. I have a '69 hanging setup in mine.nfury8 wrote:Ok, hang an "I am with stupid sign" on me, but what are you talking about???

Re: Accelerator rod boot
Interesting, so the 70-71 uses the modern cable setup.
I was really excited when I found out that the cable from the
94 Magnum engine I am using will snap right into the hole in
the firewall on my 70, with no mods at all. Guess I got lucky
by one year on that one! Thanks for educating me!
I will go away now.
