More throttle problems

Took her out for a little spin last night, almost home, gave it a little extra and pedal drops, revs go way the hell up. I put the clutch in, neutral, revs higher, engine off and rolled to the side of the road. Some very nice passer by stopped and helped me push it into a space at our neighborhood little club house thing. In the meantime it starts raining all crazy monsoon Florida style, dumps several inches into the car (targa top was safely stored in the garage at home) and soaks me.

Anyway I recently fixed some issues with throttle return springs, and after thinking/searching/drying myself off I'm thinking the problem is now at the pedal (sticking bell housing). I'll look today and hope to limp it back home. Hopefully the engine is ok. The joys of old cars.
