Re: show me your rod throttle to DBC setups

I picked up a factory throttle cable out of a 2001 silverado thinking I could use it, but I don't see any way of making this work without converting to a 71-72 cable throttle.

Converting to DBW isn't really an option for me because I'm using Megasquirt instead of the GM PCM. My engine is also set pretty far back against the firewall.

I did exactly what you are wanting to do on the Panel Truck and it worked out good. You can use the pedal arm and the Silverado cable that you already have. I will post some pictures and explain what I did this evening.
