clutch pedal removal on a 66 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I converted mine to a cable to better work with my carb linkage, but I used a 73-87 pedal. I don't recommend using a 73-87 pedal. It doesn't fit great with the firewall. I had to bend it a lot. I am going to put a 71-72 pedal in it at some point

I am going to use a 7004 trans in my 66 also. Since i am using the original 250 six cylinder will I have to just remove the clutch pedal only and use the original setup on the gas pedal? Also going to use a column shifter out of a 69 truck.

You should be able to just remove clutch pedal assembly and use your existing throttle assembly setup.

Here's my setup. I've also got a 700r4 and you can see the cable for that and I modified the flat piece so I would be sure to get full throttle. As for the gas pedal, those little ball attachments are needed but I can not recommend LMC for those. I bought a pair and they did not fit right and are not the same as the originals. Go to one of the suppliers mentioned above.
