Chris,

It's a rubber conical stop, with a rounded nose and a bolt out the back.  About 
1
inch across the largest diameter rubber, and about 1 inch long rubber.  It 
screws
into an existing nut and is the pedal stop at the pedal tip.  The pedal is
attached to a round shaft with a clamp bolt.  The object is to open the throttle
full against the carb stops, loosen the pedal clamp and let it fall till it
bottoms on the rubber stop under some light pressure, then clamp the pedal. That
way there is NO tension in the throttle cable (wire) when floored, and the carb 
is
full open.

If you DON'T do this, you'll break the cable with that big foot pulling it too
taught.  The pedal stop takes all your exuberance, not the cable.  You can build
one up with a bolt and a rubber head from a chair leg, or maybe one of the hood
stop rubber pads will work.  You do have those? Available at Sunbeam
Specialties.   Picture on Page 24, item ET95 "Hood Buffer", $3.95 each, four
required for hood.  It's cylindrical instead of a gum-drop shape.
