Foot throttle.

On what side of the engine is the carburetor on a mid 20's Dodge? I bought two foot feed assemblies at a recent jumble sale to get the pedals and control arms on them. There were Dodge parts scattered throughout the lots, so I presume the assemblies are Dodge.

I have a similar pedal on my roadster to connect the OF carb. On RHD cars it's apiece of cake to fit. No cross shaft to worry about, just a straight rod going forward to the carb.

What I bought would make ideal set-ups for you guys. If the Dodge has the carb on the left, these cross shafts would link the pedal on our RHD cars.
Using them on a LHD T model would let the pedal on the left linked to the carb on the right.

Left hand side on a '24. I would assume the same on all mid 20s Dodges.
