Floor pins and linkage end.

Ever since I can remember, the gas pedal on the 115C has felt a little balky when it starts to travel from foot off the pedal until just before it starts to actually travel. Almost like it resists for a second then gives in and starts to depress. I removed the pedal, which I assume is original. The top of the pedal did not feel as if it was secured when I lifted it off, whereas the bottom of the pedal felt as if it was secured to the pins. The two floor pins on the bottom end of the pedal appear to be smaller than the ball end on the linkage. However, holes on each end of the pedal appear to be the same size. Was the rubber much more flexible once and therefore allowed the linkage ball to seat itself in one of the upper holes or is there something else I'm missing? I can not find a picture of this part (the pedal) in the 1935-1941 parts list book but I do find the part number entry.

Several years ago my father converted his 115C from 6 volt to 12 volt. I know that there will be many who will say that he shouldn't have done that, but he did.

My question is, will the tune up specs remain the same even though it is now a 12 volt system?

Thanks for the info guys.

In reply to packardguy53, the car does run and is registered, even though, since I've gotten it to Florida with it's horrible drivers and the fact that my garage is located in a pretty busy section of town, I haven't taken it out of the garage. I'm building up to it. LOL

Also, to Gar's point about not using coolant designed for modern cars, what brand would you suggest? I would have just gone to Advanced Auto and gotten whatever was on sale. Glad I didn't.

I have a 1937 115C Sport Coupe which I have inherited. It had been stored in a garage in Connecticut for many years and run infrequently. I had it shipped to me in Florida about a year ago and am now just picking away at regular maintenance. I want to change the antifreeze and replace it because it has not been done for several years. The fluid in there is still green and no rust floating around that I can see. My question is, what kind of a mixture should I put in since it obviously won't be freezing any time soon but it will face the heat of summer time Florida when it does get driven.

I will probably have many maintenance questions as they come up so thank you for any insight.
