Bjorn,
Thanks for the part number. It may have been a jinx, but my bracket broke,
also.
Jim,
You may have done it already, but the bracket is replaceable without pulling
the engine. One bolt with a ratcheting wrench from below and one bolt from
above. I had to start both bolts from above by hand (finger tips) when
going back. Make sure and slide the throttle assembly in before tightening
(Gr-r-r). Patience got the job done, but a smaller hand sure would have
helped.

Jim,
Mine was the plastic piece that holds the pedal to the floor/firewall, it
had cracked ,broke apart...a new one (I got mine from Classic) fixed the
problem...the part no is 3863501 1968-69 repro $18.95 its called a
"accelerator pad to rod support"...but as said abv. not sure if this is your
same problem....no bushing in this bracket.

The gas pedal on my 69 has a lot of slop in it.
Can the assembly be removed without removing the engine?
