Where do I look to see which style I have?
Thanks,

eBay can be a fantastic resource for pictures to ID parts..... IF the description is correct!
The Parts Place sells both types. Their ads are presently the first two that show up when you search for '1964 gto pedal'.... both the bolt style and the pin style.

I know. That's why I'm asking the question. They sell both types. But how do I tell which type I have?

All I have ever seen in the 64-66 skylarks is the pin style. The bolt style was a chevy thing in my experience.

Compare yours to the pictures....
On the pin style, there is a shaft welded to the clutch pedal. That shaft rides on bushings in the pedal/steering column support. The shaft rotates when clutch pedal moves. The brake pedal merely rides on that shaft.
I'm not familiar with the bolt style, but I'll guess the bolt is secured in the pedal support and does not move, rotate, or swivel.
Each pedal has bushings that ride on the stationary bolt.
Guessing again, but I don't think the bolt style will work on a Buick pedal support.

Ok - thanks for your help!

My 65 Skylark is the Pin style. THere is a 3/8" hole in the brake arm where a clevis on the brake rod attaches.
