Re: LFD's gas pedal adapters (71-72 gas pedals in 67-70's)
Kevin, my twin brother got a 64 chevy with a 454 & wants some better way to push the joy juice pedal. Will you kit work on his truck or did they change that much? Howard

Re: LFD's gas pedal adapters (71-72 gas pedals in 67-70's)
Wow, that was friggin' quick man! Now I really will have to find where the heck I put that pedal...
Just tossing this out for anyone... where would I find a cable that would work for an edelbrock carb? Is there a "generic make your own cable kit" out there? Not really looking for Lokar quality/price, just something that will work safely.

For my LT1 I used one for a 96 Impala then shortened the cable shield for a better fit and went to Ace hardware and used two of the cable crimpers to shorten the cable under the dash. Has over 16,000 HARD miles on it with out fail and you could never tell anything was done. What would be cool is as people start getting these hooked up, post pics and parts to complete the job.

Re: LFD's gas pedal adapters (71-72 gas pedals in 67-70's)
Would a 24 inch throttle cable work for this?

Re: LFD's gas pedal adapters (71-72 gas pedals in 67-70's)
I do think that was about the stock length but I would need to check to make sure. What ever the stock 71-72 used will be a bolt in deal (after you cut the square hole) but a lot of other cables will work as well. Also keep in mind that their may be different lengths depending on if it had a SBC, BBC or 6'er, so fining one that fits just how you want it should not be very hard at all. Also once people start installing these and post pics it will give a good starting point for others.

Re: LFD's gas pedal adapters (71-72 gas pedals in 67-70's)
Thanks, went out and measured. I think the Lokar 24" universal cable will work, trimmed to fit. Firewall to the carb is under 24" and it looks like there's already a hole drilled in the firewall in the right spot.

Re: LFD's gas pedal adapters (71-72 gas pedals in 67-70's)
I think you will be able to modify the 67-70 pedal "Z" rod to work with this. It will require moving the pedal stop pin to the other side and bending the rod to match the 71/72 pedal. This will allow the use of the lokar setup without any welding or modification to the end of the pedal rod.

Re: LFD's gas pedal adapters (71-72 gas pedals in 67-70's)
Rob I looked at one I had here and that is a good way to go with a bit of bending and it looks like for the roll pin you can just tap it through the other way.
Also just to let you guys who ordered since last night, they are all in the mail but the post office is closed today so they will be processed first thing in the morning. Kevin LFD Inc. Last edited by Rokcrln; 11-11-2009 at 05:52 PM. |

Re: LFD's gas pedal adapters (71-72 gas pedals in 67-70's)
I have the 71-72 pedal assembly but no cable. What does the lokar cable look like you guys are using? How much are they costing? I am running a edelbrock performer carb, will the lokar cable work with that carb? Thanks Guys.

Re: LFD's gas pedal adapters (71-72 gas pedals in 67-70's)
I ordered the Lokar 24" Universal throttle cable. Looks like it'll work with a Performer carb. You have to use the Lokar throttle bracket. Only issue might be your transmission kickdown bracket. I'm running the Lokar Th400 kickdown switch and already have the throttle bracket. Hopefully it'll all work out.
Haven't got all my stuff yet though.
