The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Gas pedal linkage spring.

I'm helping a friend who is working on a 1954 1/2 ton truck. We are wondering where the gas pedal linkage spring anchors to, I thought it was down near the oil pan lip. A picture, if possible would be very helpful.

Here you go. The pic is a little dark. I had to clip it from a larger picture.

There's a small clip that goes under one of the pan bolts. If he doesn't have that, they're available from vendors. Link

Found another pic. A little clearer.

Thanks Kevin, I actually told him there should be a clip under one of the oil pan bolts but there was no sign of one ever being there.

I believe the pictures are of a 216.
Depending on which throttle linkage you have, the spring would hook into the hole on a 235.

Fwiw, My first gen 1953 Canadian 235 engines don’t have a hole
There is a small piece of metal with a hole in it that is under one of the oil pan screws
It’s factory because I have about 5-6 engines configured that same way. It’s the same tiny part as the 216 engines from 50-52.

Correct, That's my 216 from my '51 Chevy.

Kevin is correct. The clip the he shows in his link is exactly what I used on my 235 with original 216 linkage.

Here's a not so great photo, the "hole " in the block on a 1954 235 engine is on the ledge . I had to locate and clean mine out to find it.

Thank you all for your help. Very good pics and link too.
