OK dumb maybe a question?

OK as some of you know I just picked up a 1968 mustang fastback with PS and air. ok now there is a pedal all the way to the left on the drivers side floor. when I first seen it, (Not thinking) I thought it was the E Brake pedal. but that is a pull lever. so I had my girl pump it a few times and it sounds like it pumps air into the AC pump under the hood. Am I crazy? what does the pedal do? why is it there?

can you get a picture of what you're talking about?

Maybe someone put a pedal on the high beam button? The only other thing I can think of is a dead pedal (if it is a stick), but they are not supposed to move and I do not think Mustang's had them back then

^^ That's what I was thinking. The high beam button is on the floor. But that makes a loud audible Click.

Need pics

+1, thats what I was thinking, I owned a 65 but wasnt sure if they changed the location of the switch in 67-68's

it might be a foot operated windshield washer pump. i've has a few older cars with it

 

[offroadrich]

its not the high beam switch thats right under this pedal. Now a windshield fluid pump sounds like it might be right. maybe its just empty? It makes a pumping sound. I will have to put wash in it a try it. Thanks

Hey,
The pedal in question is for the windsheild washer.

 

[offroadrich]

Cool, Thanks, funny thing, I had a 67 coupe years ago and it didn't have that, You learn something new everyday.

 

[jmiller]

mine (69 coupe) is a twist of the windshield wiper nob. very cool to hear about one with the pedal.

Only the 67 & 68 Mustangs/Cougars had the windsheld washer pump pedal.

Why not plumb it to the rear wheels and put bleach or traction compound in it........couple of pumps.....instant bleach box
