right, sorry for the delay in replies.
wicked, it is the stock '66 style ( with the bolt in the intake manifold ) and through the firewall i do believe it is going smooth in that part, i kind of hear what i think might be binding in the carb linkage part, but i am not sure. i'll try and spray some carb cleaner and see what's up.
rbohm, i am really leaning towards the return spring it seems weak when i poke it, but the weird thing is that i can only replicate the problem in the car using the gas pedal, if i pull on the linkage and hold it there for a while and let go gentle it does not do it, what kind of spray lube do you recommend i don't think i want to use wd40, such a temporary fix for anything.
2+2 the engine is not stock and is in my sig, i am unsure of the correctness of the spring, as it was installed when the new engine, 750 holley, and when i had a c4. since then all i have changed is a tko 600. ( lol 'all' ) but the idea that maybe something else was wrong other than the spring was why i posted : )
( for the next section sorry for the laymans )
@all does your stock linkage have a slight bend in the one bar that goes from the pedal bar going through the firewall to the carb linkage, the one that is sort of a z in shape or an N w/e. or is it straight? it's been so long since this car was stock i can't remember.
and i also forgot to mention i have a foot print gas pedal : ).
never had a problem when the engine was stock. ( i mean with the gas pedal ) so if you think that it possibly weighs more than the original pedal so maybe it needs a different spring, that sort of thing, i don't just want to replace the spring if that isn't the problem because i'm sure it will stop the stickyness but if there is something that should be fixed i would rather do that than a band aid.
