the 71 is a 4 speed car

['ol Pinion head]

the steel ROD that accepts the pedal on one end & the throttle cable at the top is not the same between '71 & '72 Firebirds.

71 4bbl F throttle cable is different than '72 4bbl throttle cable.

the plastic pedal is the same.

Pop out the plastic retainer grommet and slide it off the cable. Then pull the cable through the hole on the gas pedal arm.
