[Hot Rod Reverend]

Paul - yes I did, and I just responded there. Thanks for your advice.

5851a - that's a "duh" moment from me, the S/W is the station wagon and the S stands for Thunderbird. I will edit the post.

Sal - I will certainly let you know what happens, can't believe I made this kind of mistake. I guess since I was getting so much "seat of the pants" power I never thought to see if I was getting to WOT????

Looks like all I need to do is fabricate a simple bracket to align a rod to the accelerator pedal pivot so that it is perpendicular to the firewall and in line with the carb.
