Sorry Carl. I meant you. Are you pals with Cal Fryer? 

You've been sending me private messages and replying to my responses to them. The messaging we've been doing here is the Private Message section. 

I'm sorry, I don't know any Cal Fryer.

What's a pedal plate?

  I would take that to mean the pedal mounting bracket/plate/hanger/housing/support or whatever! I've heard that piece called many names.

Hi Todd where do I find instructions to post photos on the site? I have some good ones of my high school girlfriend waaaaay back.   Just kidding but ya..how do I post photos please. 

Sorry Carl. Yes the automatic pedal bracket that is under the dash and secures the steering column, pedals and brake booster.

So this is private messaging. Thank you Carl. I did not know that. Green as grass here as far as this website.  Here is where I am to up date you. 66 sd auto car, so floor console. I bought this as a frame off unfinished car from the family of the owner who passed away last December. It came with a rebuilt muncie which I want to use.  I have purchased a late crate sbc full roller carb to pan engine. From what I have been told the original automatic brake pedal plate that bolts to the under side of the dash and through the firewall to support the brake booster is not compatible with repop standard 66 chevelle pedals. Is this correct? Do repop 66 chevelle pedals work with the original automatic pedal plate on a 66 beaumont?    I have a complete set of 66 chevelle standard pedals and 4 spd accessory kit on hold with OPG in California  till 3pm tomorrow bc time.  Apparently if they go back in stock a sale that is on now is void and my price goes up.  So I am hoping this is as a simple ... yes these pedals will work.or no or not sure, response from you.  An interesting side note. There is a rectangular slot in the factory auto pedal plate in my car now that is apparently needed for a rubber bumper for the clutch pedal in a standard application.  Please respond to my query at your earliest opportunity.   Is your last name stevens? Thank you

 No, this is the public forum, everyone is reading this. 

When we were messaging about this, that was in private messaging. Does this look familiar?

I was not aware that the repro pedals don't fit the original SD bracket. I do know 64-66 Chevelle and Beaumont 4 speed clutch and brake pedals interchange and original pedals will fit in the original automatic bracket. 

That bracket should have the slot for the clutch pedal bumper, yes because it's the same bracket on both auto and manual trans cars. 

My last name is actually Stevenson

Thank you for the response. On a couple of other Beaumont sites I was informed that standard tranny pedals were not compatible with the pedal bracket on a 66 automatic tranny beaumont. I am now finding this to be false.

I can't speak to A-body cars, but on B-body cars to switch from 2 pedals to 3 you just:
- pull out the big pin that the brake pedal pivots on,
- pull out the old brake pedal,
- put in the new brake pedal,
- insert clutch pedal that has a big pin attached to it.
- insert rubber bumper for clutch pedal in slot already provided.
There's no big brackets to change, etc. (there's a few bits & pieces to deal with too, but nothing major)

 Really ??
