some advice I was given

My 70 T got a new clutch after my clutch pivot bolt broke...117k and everything was orig!.....just wanted to pass on what a dealer mechanic that I recently have befriended told me.........use updated pivot bolt(many aftermarket stores carry it), and he also said after looking over my car that the non toothed fan belts tend to be more reliable(type dealer carry) and to update the rubber throttle thingy(sorry) w/ the updated metal caged one. This prevents sudden failure of gas pedal falling to floor upon rubber failure....seems as though the caged one enables you to get home in limp mode w/o catastrophic pedal failure........
