Harvey Tank Posted September 6, 2015 Report Posted September 6, 2015 I was out driving today in my 50 Ply came up to a stop sign. took off in first gear shift to second and no gas. popped the hood and found that the linkage from the gas pedal was off. does anyone have a photo or a diagram of the linkage set up for the P20 I think mine is missing. I walked back down the street looking for it no luck. Maybe it hiding on the frame. what's it look like? Quote
MarkAubuchon Posted September 6, 2015 Report Posted September 6, 2015 pretty simple, back track from the rod that comes to gas pedal, adjusting rod to the head, head rod to the carb. Which of the three pieces is missing? Quote
Don Coatney Posted September 6, 2015 Report Posted September 6, 2015 This might or might not help. P-15 with dual carburetors but much of the linkage is the same as a single carburetor. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted September 6, 2015 Report Posted September 6, 2015 do any of you have the picture of the linkage coming off the firewall of the car...I am thinking this may be his real need... Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted September 6, 2015 Report Posted September 6, 2015 thanks Don...I never took picture of this area in close up Quote
Niel Hoback Posted September 6, 2015 Report Posted September 6, 2015 There is a small clip that holds the rod that comes through the floor to the belcrank under the floorboard. The other end of the belcrank also has a small clip holding on the rod that goes up to the bracket on the firewall. One of my clips fell off, but I got lucky and found it. Quote
Harvey Tank Posted September 6, 2015 Author Report Posted September 6, 2015 thanks guys. the linkage that I lost was the one right off of the gas pedal. one that I don't think you can get to to take a photo off with out taking the floor pan off. that's what I will do tomorrow. Niel I think you are right. it might just be the little clip holding the linkage to the gas pedal. I think I lost it. Thanks Don for the photos they do indeed help. Quote
Don Coatney Posted September 6, 2015 Report Posted September 6, 2015 On a P-15 that is a ball joint. I used super glue on the bottom of my pedal as a fix several years ago. Quote
Niel Hoback Posted September 6, 2015 Report Posted September 6, 2015 The rod that attaches to the top of the pedal goes through the floor and clips to a pivoting belcrank that connects to the rod that goes vertically up the front of the firewall. Quote
soth122003 Posted September 7, 2015 Report Posted September 7, 2015 The rod should should come out just above the starter and connect to the bellcrank right behind the oil filter at the firewall. At least on my 48 P-15 it does. I lost my clip and the pin for it one time. I got a replacement part at autozone and made a new pin by cutting it down and using cotter pins to secure it. Works fine now. Joe Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted September 7, 2015 Report Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Does the P-15 use this type of pivot pin and clip? This pin and clip is at the gas pedal push rod through the floor to engine firewall linkage on one of my chryslers. Edited September 7, 2015 by Dodgeb4ya 1 Quote

This pin and clip is at the gas pedal push rod through the floor to engine firewall linkage on one of my chryslers. Yes it does. Your photo refreshed my memory. I replaced that pin and clip on my car with a pin that has a spring loaded detent ball as a locking device. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted September 7, 2015 Report Posted September 7, 2015 Here is a picture of the P15 system out of the Parts Manual. Quote
Harvey Tank Posted September 7, 2015 Author Report Posted September 7, 2015 Bob thas wat I am looking for. but for a P20.the linkge pivets off of the lower end of the gas pedal. that diagram is not in my manul. Quote
DJ194950 Posted September 7, 2015 Report Posted September 7, 2015 From 50 Mopar parts book. Looks like my 50 P-20 except I think the rod from the throttle to bell crank used rods with 60 degree bends and clips. I would really prefer to have it per the diagram using rod ends with nuts and no clips. Hope this is what you are looking for. Ignore the extra parts show for a auto trans setup. DJ Quote
Harvey Tank Posted September 8, 2015 Author Report Posted September 8, 2015 Thanks DJ That's it!. it took me about 4 hrs. to get to it . not much room down in there. Napa has the clip that came off. I am going to put it all back together to day. Thank you Sir. Harvey Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted September 8, 2015 Report Posted September 8, 2015 You have the common style L/R linkage clips! Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted September 8, 2015 Report Posted September 8, 2015 Harvey..........good to hear from you, even with a problem. Looks like you now have the solution. Hope you and yours are doing well.........keep on driving the old Mopar..... Bob Quote
