Carpet install help

I replaced the carpet in my 66 Barracuda with carpet from ACC and it comes to just below where the steering column goes through the firewall. After I laid it down, I had my wife hold it down to the floorboard while I pushed an ice pick through the two holes (from underneath) that hold the gas pedal to the floor. Then I enlarged the holes enough to get the threaded studs through the carpet and into the holes in the floor.

Having said all this, I'm not sure how the gas pedal attaches on a 67 dart. :violent1:
