Title: rubber boot in firewall for accelerator pedal rod
Post by: retroguy on February 21, 2023, 09:55:40 AM

I need the rubber boot in the firewall that seals off the engine compartment from the passenger compartment hole for the accelerator pedal rod.  Anyone have one or know of a source?  Also I get a lot of engine noise inside the car: any info regarding installing better firewall insulation?

Walck's 4 Wheel drive sells the throttle pedal boots:

Regarding firewall insulation, check out Quite Ride Solutions at  https://www.quietride.com/

Hopefully, these sites will help.

Even better yet!   I know there was a time when no one was doing them.  They are the same as one of the International Harvesters.  I think I searched on that and got one many  years ago.  Guess I'll check ebay if I ever need one again!

all of "our" part suppliers gotta get parts somewhere...
I have never found "marque" suppliers to be a bargain
