where does the hole go? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am finishing up a new dash cluster with a speedminder,tach,air pressure and 80lb oil gauge and I have a manual throttle control cable to install but I need a picture of the firewall where the cable goes through and what size hole it is if possible. My truck is a 69 so the cable goes on the floor mounted pedal type set up and is installed below the windshield washer control switch.

The factory manual throttle on my '71 attaches to an extra 'arm' on the gas pedal linkage inside the cab. No hole in the firewall. Oh wait... you mean the hole for the cable to the carb from the gas pedal linkage? Isn't that the same on every truck - regardless of manual throttle or not?

I was told that the linkage goes through the firewall and attaches to the pedal linkage before the rod that goes to the carb-just looking where the factory had it routed thru the firewall and what size I'm going to need with the gourmet.

Mines the same way on my '72.

Thanks! 71 and 72 trucks have cable accelerator pedals and 67 to 70 had solid rod type accelerator pedals. It's the location of the hole in the firewall I'm after just like the manual choke cables.
