Throttle Cable Conversion

[SierraMtns]

I finished my throttle linkage to cable driven gas pedal conversion and wanted to post about it in case there was other guys looking to do the same thing. The truck is a 67 stepside with a sbc 283.

Picked up 71/72 gas pedal and short throttle cable. Motor is in the 6 cyl position so it sits back closer to the firewall. First I pulled the firewall connection from the cable. Sniped the cable end that goes to the pedal so the cable can be pulled out of the sheath. Cut down the sheath to the desired length and then press it back together.



Drilled a 1/2" hole in the firewall and squared it with a hand file. The firewall end of the cable snapped in place.



Pedal bracket fab up. Drilled the 3 holes that hold the pedal to bracket with a #7 drill bit and then tapped it with 1/4" x 20 tap.





Bolts are all 1/4" x 20. Short ones hold the bracket to the firewall and the long ones hold the pedal to bracket.



More to follow.
