There is supposed to be a detent under the gas peddle on my 1956 F-100 ford o matic. It is not there and I can not find one. Nor can I figure out what it is supposed to do. Anybody able to help? Please

 

You should have this under the pedal, I have had this on my watch page for a while, I don't need it but will as soon as someone buys it.

That is the overdrive kick out switch. The detent is something different and carries a different number.

 

My bad, I was thinking overdrive not ford o matic

 

you know , while I am on the truck I also am looking for a water pump for the y block truck

 

What are you calling a detent, the portion on the backside of the 9735 pedal that the ball stud of the 9725 accelerator linkage fits into?

TAAA-9735-A = The pedal is the same, 1948/56 all trucks except 1948/52 F5/F6 COE.

 

Hi!
I think he´s asking about 9A858, I think it is a artificial feel device for the kick-down on the ford-o-matic. You have a "mark" on the firewall where the hole for it soppose to be.
I got one on Ebay som years ago so have a look there.

 

Check with MACs & RockAuto they both had the low mount water pumps. If you can't find one or yours is a high mount Harrier got his rebuilt and seemed happy with it drop him a PM to see where that was.

 

C1TT-9A858-A (replaced B7TZ-9A858-A) .. Accelerator Pedal Detent Stop Assy / Obsolete

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has ONE = 800-543-4959.

 

It is a STOP ***'Y (ACCELERATOR PEDAL DETENT) B5C 9751-A as close as I can tell. It fits the same place that the overdrive kick down switch would go.

 

No such part number! See 9A858 in parts catalog pic in post 6 and correct part number in post 9.

Left: No 9751 listed / Right: 9A858

 

Thanks, I had the info wrong.

 

Is this an actual switch or just a spring-loaded piece that stops the pedal from going too far?

 

could be, I ordered the thing from Green Sales and will find out

 

It´s just spring-loaded but you have to push hard to get it moving, its adjustable so that it can be matched to the kick-down.
