Can somebody direct me to what the connection looks like too???

Thanks...
Okay...nowback to the regularly scheduled programing....

Should be a ball stud. If you don't have one, you should be able to pick it up at a hardware store.

Got to work on my pedal setup today. Going to use a Lokar throttle cable. First pic is factory pedal. 2nd pic is cut and welded to work with the Lokar cable. 3rd is with the cable installed. Had to weld up the factory hole for the throttle cable and redrill. Might redrill and put a plastic bushing in. If you use the Lokar cable you have to use their throttle cable bracket and kickdown setup.
Waiting on a part so I can install when I do my intake and carb.

fatboys69 · 11-30-2009, 03:10 PM

just tried "bolting" mine together with the pedal and plastic bracket and one of the tapped holes doesnt quite line up. Nothing I cant fix by opening up the hole in the plastic base and the sheetmetal retainer. Just an FYI

**67cheby** · 11-30-2009, 04:02 PM

this might sound stupid but i am a little confused if the peddle and cable dont come with it what am i buying ?? i dont see anything else ?? i am interested in switching my 67 over i am running a tbi 350, please tell me what i am overlooking , and can i get a cable to got to the tbi ??

Yes this was addressed in the directions with the same solution you came up with. I have 4 pedals and they all are just off of each other a bit so I made the bracket as close as I could to make all of them work. I found if you just start a few threads in each bolt they will start then tighten them all down. I will also go back and check my jig for good measure. Sorry if it was off a touch.

What you are buying is the adapter plate and hardware that bolts to the 67-70 cab then the 71-72 pedal bolts to that. You should be able to get a cable that will work with your TBI easily.

hey NO PROBLEM !!!! I understand about having to tweek things. To many variables to take into consideration. Appreciate all the help.

Sorry, I don't remember, DOH. I got it from Summit though.
Edit: Throttle cable was $42, throttle cable bracket was $24, Th400 kickdown switch/cable was around $90. They have kickdown cables for th350's as well.

Beelzeburb · 01-03-2010, 01:07 AM

Got mine a while back and I'm finally getting around to playing with it.
I'm taking the cheap way out and modifying my existing '70 pedal assembly to work with the adapter.

I cut both ends off of the mid point in the fulcrum, flipped them and welded them back on. I had to take into account the fact that the adapter moves the bracket and pedal assembly a couple of inches to the left, so when I welded the ends back on I made sure to angle them inward. After double and triple checking the pedal falls right in the middle on one end and the other end that pulls on the throttle cable falls directly in line with my planned hole in the firewall.
All that was left was to chop off and rotate the very end of the rod where the cable passes through, turn it 90 degrees, drill and tap two new holes in the plate and cut the plastic rod retainer down on one end.

This is what I've got right now and so far the mock-up looks promising. I've still got to modify the pass through in the firewall, weld up some extra holes and try bolting it in place.

Will this mod work with 350/3ott what else will I need for the install besides cable? What're the advantages with 'locar' throttle cable? Thanks! Do you still have any of these left?

I was looking at the lokar cable for this mod. Problem is lokar has a clevis attached to the pedal end, the stock pedal is not meant to have a clevis attached to it. The stock pedal is set up to have a the cable thread thru it. There is a little pastic bushing on the pedal and a lead bead that is crimped on to the cable to hold it in place. What would be the best way to adapt it?

You can cut and weld the pedal arm and drill it for the clevis. Or I think somebody, (Hartrod?) removed the clevis and just used the cable end on the stock pedal. I cut and welded mine.

jbristo67 · 02-18-2010, 10:12 PM

I did this exact same thing a long time ago. Putter had a big write up on it on here some where

6772owner · 03-12-2010, 03:27 PM

I used the Lokar cable as well, I just pulled the cable all the way out of the sheath and fed it thru the stock pedal eyelet and back in the sheath. The cables pre crimped end then just rides up against the stock plastic insert for the original cable and has worked fine for me.

Mine is finally in place and working like it should. It took a lot of tweaking, grinding and a little bending but it has the full range of motion, doesn't bind and it lets the pedal sit at a stock angle.

For as much work as it took to use my original '70 pedal linkage I should have probably just purchased a '71-'72 setup.

WHAMMYBAR66 · 06-21-2010, 09:13 PM

I just ordered one ! I am tired of my Blazer applying the throttle to itself when I am creeping through a parking lot.. thanx !
