Use a Lokar cable attached to your modified stock pedal so when you push down w/ the pedal the cable shortens. Available in 2' 3' and 4' lengths. You'll probably have to mess w/ a hole in the floor/ firewall base (I'm not familiar w/ 40's floor pedals but look at Lokars pictures and mock up something that works for you. The cable is much better control w/ the carb. You may have to mock up a carb support/ stop assy to hold the cable at the carb as well as the pedal end. I'm going to be using my stock pedal and plan on this same idea but I have an AD.
The SS braided one might give you a little better heat insulation against the exh system. Heat shielding is also available if you so need to add it.
