[mehoff400]

i am looking to upgrade my accelerator pedal on my truck to a cable style. i am having no luck on getting a 71-72 pedal. i have found a couple 73+ pedals. anyone know how other years fit? any suggestions on where to find a 71-72 pedal? i know lokar sells one but i am not trying to spend that much and thats not the look i am going for.

any help would be great... here is what i am trying to do get my accelerator rod to hook up to my carb.

You can use your original pedal linkage very easily. This is on my 1965 Pickup with an Edelbrock carb on a 292 Inline 6 cyl motor. The bellcrank is the original one that mounted sideays on the block. I made up a plate to go across the bolts on the back of the carb and put a pivot bolt in it. Been using it for over 15 years and works great. Hope the pics give you enough detail.

mmmmhhh... interesting i have access to cnc laser and could probably program something like that pretty easily.

I see you are also running a T5 trans. They work awsum behind the 6 cyl. With the cnc you could draw up something very easily and will look better than this. I like the K.I.S.S. theory and done that for years

GMdad looking at your set up it wont work for what i need. i need a pull system off the carb it looks like you have a push system. i just ordered a 73+ gas pedal it looks very similar to the 71-72 pedal. plan is to use 73+ pedal along with mr gasket cable. i will update with what i make work

Mine is a pull setup. The pedal lever goes back towards the firewall. Your carb is sitting the same as mine on the intake.
