It was pretty simple, actually. First, I removed the factory DBW plastic pedal. Then I drilled out the hole on the 72 factory pedal to match the pin size on the DBW pedal. Last, I reinstalled the 72 pedal and DBW spring on the DBW setup. That's it, :).

Those are sweet, I just like the flexibility of the DD setup. If I could combine the style of those with the flexibility of the others..... :).

Anyway, the burbs got a new home........................

Yeah, no doubt. I stuck Jakes truck in the house garage, so, hopefully there will be enough room to get this thing finished. Yours is looking good also. When are you going to do the electric?

Only have 2 yrs left here. Plus once someone buys my extra parts, I will double the space I have...;). I am almost finished with the front suspension mounting points which will at least give me a roller for my current project and allow me to roll it out when I need space.

Thanks for the info. I'm now on the hunt for a nice original 72 pedal.

I think new ones are pretty reasonable. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Got the new Dakota Digital gauges in today and I'm really impressed!!! I can't wait to get them wired. I think they will fit the Burb a little better than the AutoMeter setup (which should look good in the 68 when I LS swap it!!!). What do ya think? I'm probably going to go with the Dakota Digital A/C controller also, so it will all match :metal:.

I've already got a slot cut out for them where the factory ones used to mount. It should go well with the gauges.

Get going!!!

***

No real visual progress, but I spent all of last weekend trying to remember where I had stopped on the wiring. Here's a small piece of advice to everyone, once you start wiring, you should never stop!!! And make lots of notes and label your wires (especially if you are using them for something different than they were intended for..). This will come in handy if you are integrating a lot of different electronics systems such as - air ride management, electronic gauges, body harness, a/c, EFI, Supercharger, electric fans, ....:waah:, :lol:.

Anyways, I'm about back to where I left off a year or so ago. Now I'm just trying to figure out the mounting locations of a few pieces such as the PCM and the water reservoir for the Maggie supercharger. If you guys have any suggestions let me know and post pictures. As of right now, I'm going to mount the PCM on the passenger inner fender. It's not to sexy, but it works with the wire bundle and won't require me to redo the wiring.

I also picked up a sponsor for the 2013 Power Tour. Tony at Entropy radiators has really helped me out and he build a really cool product. Hopefully, I'll be able to pick up a couple of more to help me finish this beast!
