Had the same problem with my '72. Found a slight kink in the accelerator cable near where it comes out of the center tunnel. Helped a bit but still wasn't quite it. Then I sprayed a bit of teflon based lubricant on the accelerator pivot on the pedal cluster (you'll have to loosen the backing board under the pedals to get at it. You won't have to remove it entirely. The pedal pivot is back behind the clutch and brake pedal arm pivot.) That worked for me. The pivots ride on nylon bearings that can eventually get gummed up with carpet fibers, possibly brake fluid if you've had a MC leak, and who knows what else. I went and bought the brass bearings for a cluster rebuild. The bearings are available here at PP and there is a great article with nice pictures under the tech articles section of this site. That should permanently cure the binding.

BTW I live here in SD also. Drop me an e-mail and we can hook up and compare cars and concerns. 36 has given us some cold nights but 65 degrees daytime with crystal blue skies make for good driving temps and tinkering under the car!
