Question wrong or right pedal

Well Don,
I just don't know. I just recieved my pedal today and crawled under the streering wheel to compare, and my original pedal is exactly the same as the one you sent me, except that mine has 1/2" more offset than the new one. My old one is 12" long, and so is the new one. My old one is right at 2" from pedal pivot to master cylinder arm attach point, so is the new one. My pedal box only has 2 holes in it. My Cobra was purchased in April/May 1991. I think it might be one of the first cars off the line. I have never locked up my brakes. I have 11" rotors with GM calipers, and drums on the 8.8 rear end. I have on occasion tried to see if the wheels would lock up, only I chicken out that I might fracture the firewall first. I'm going to go ahead and return the brake pedal. I truely appreciate you sending these out free of charge, so actually, If you give me someone's address, I'll simply box it up and ship it directly to them, that way you will save on shipping to another person. Just get me an address and I'll send it out this Saturday, July 3.
