Sounds strange. I replaced the gas pedal a bunch of years ago and have had no problems, Unfortunately, I don't remember where I bought it. One of the major Corvette parts suppliers , I'm sure.

The conventional wisdom is to not use the front and rear gaskets -- they will not stay in place over time and will start to leak. Ditch them and use a good silicone sealer in their place.

Not sure what aluminum shield you're using, but i lined the interior of my '66 coupe with dynamat, and it certainly made a difference in the interior temperature. Much more pleasant in the summer.
