Measure from the top of your pedal where it swivels on the bracket to the bottom of the pedal.
Also measure the top down to where you have the pushrod hole.
Now divide the long measurement by the short measurement.

For example if your pedal is 18 inches long and the measurement to your rod hole is 4 inches, you divide 18 by 4 which equals 4.5.
That’s your ratio of 4.5 to 1.
