Hi Ralph ..
did you take the throttle cable completely out of your van and clean
*everything* carefully ..
and lube everything really nicely, then put it all back together ?

I don't think a pedal assembly is a 'service part' ..
that would be like buying a body panel I'd think ..
and not a normal part one can buy.

I do find the linakge under there and the bell crank worn..
from never being lubed, natch ...
if you get in a jam I can fix you up with something decent if your pedal
assembly isn't very good or restorabe anymore.
