The gas pedal on my recently acquired '51 Commander Starlight w/automatic trans is missing. I'm confused by the actuating rod that is sitting in the hole. See the pictures I've attached. It's oddly bent down. Shouldn't it stick straight out? Wouldn't this be too long if I un-bent it? I'm wondering if this is original or not. It seems to have the right end on it, I think, from what I remember of my old Lark. It's surprising to see that the chassis parts book lists several rods -- which one would work? Hoping someone can give a bit of guidance! Thanks for any help.
