I'm putting together a thing that I picked up as a project in pieces. I installed the pedal assembly and adjusted up the clutch cable. The clutch feels nice but the pedal doesn't stop when you release it and lays down on the floor pan. What makes the pedal stop when released? I can't figure this puzzle out. Thanks.

sounds like missing the pedal stop bracket. It bolts to the pan just behind the pedal assembly.

Does it bolt inside the tunnel?

sorry i do not have a readily available pic. i will look. it bolts through the floor pan. just behind/under the clutch brake pedal side of the pedal assembly. opposite of tunnel side. there is a raised bump on the underside of the brake arm that stops when hits pedal stop.

That's cool anything helps. I'm not sure what the deal is. I installed new floors so I'm starting fresh.
