You can adjust the accelerator rod by the bell-crank on the block. Should be the spot you attach the rod to the bell-crank with a nut on each side. Just loosen one side or the other to achieve the right pedal height. Assuming we are talking about a 235.
What engine are you working on?
58' 3200 235 3-speed/OD

The rod sticks out 2 1/2"
