If your gas pedal goes to the floor, but the car goes nowhere, you may need a new accelerator link. In 1974, an improved accelerator link was introduced, wrapping the original rubber piece ina a metal jacket. Now, even if the rubber breaks, your throttle works well enough to get you home or to the shop. Easy to install, this in-link is located in the engine compartment where the accelerator rod comes out of the firewall.
