1932 Accelerator pedal distance from floor

[Duke]

Hi,
I am just confirming that nothing is bent. In a 1932 V8 car how far does the accelerator sit from the floor in the at rest state? Another way of looking at this is how much travel does the pedal have before it touches the wood floor board.
Thank you

2" or slightly less.

You're welcome.

What is (in my view) most important is that the carb reaches fully open just before the pedal reaches the floor. The flex in the linkage will allow the pedal to hit the floor. If you set it up like this you will have the proper height above floor when the throttle is closed, assuming the linkages are stock.

Mart.

like mart you need W.O.T. get someone to push the pedal to the floor firmly but dont mash it and look down the carb if its wide open your good !
