That is a blast from the past. Growing up in Michigan there were a lot of kids in my high school driving Chevettes in the early 90's. (or as we would call them vettes as no one in my working class neighborhood was making enough money to buy their kid an actual Corvette for their first car)
It has been more than 25 years since I've wrenched on one so I can't help with the pedal question but your post brought back some memories. I also don't know how much the H-body and T-body overlap.
For those that don't know this is what Larry bought. (I think Pontiac missed the target audience with this ad)
