Accelerator pedal disconnect, Old pedal fell off Options

[IanStott]

The accelerator pedal is just flopping around, what parts do I need to repair this and where do I get them?
Thanks.

Well,

take a good look down there and see what shape everything is in, in particular, is there any brake fluid leaking around the pedal box? the master cylinder is right on the other side of the brake pedal and when it goes, that whole pedal box area gets doused with brake fluid...

if this is the case, you will likely need to remove the pedal box to clean it all out, and if the springs, bushings etc are coated in brake fluid, you'll want to remove it and clean/replace as needed.

if the area is dry, than I'd say go ahead and replace the accelerator cable, look at the pedal spring/ bushings and replace as needed. This is all cheap work as far as parts, but it takes some time the first time you pull this stuff out because of limited space and 30 years of rust, grime etc... do it all slowly so you dont strip any bolts...lots of penetrating fluid is key!
