Remember, the old cars used to have the gas pedal
between the brake and clutch. This was supposed to be a more natural position when the ball of the foot was on the brake and the heel was used to blip the gas. The ball of the foot is used on the brake, since this has greater sensitivity and the brake needs more accurate modulation than the gas. If you look carefully in the picture, you can see the gas pedal is a round button between the brake and clutch pedals.
There's another way to obtain level brake and gas pedals; I added a spacer to the brake pedal. You can create a false brake pedal out of 1/8 in. steel, and space this outward from the original brake pedal by three bolts (with flat heads countersunk into the new pedal). Place the rubber pad on the new pedal, and you're in business.
