Switching from rod to Cable on the gas pedal
Has anyone done this on a 1968?
The rod is giving me fits with the T350 kickdown cable and the carb linkage is not as good as it should be.

Done it!! Using Lokar stuff, pedal and cables. It's easy to do and the products are nice.

Re: Switching from rod to Cable on the gas pedal
I like the Lokar!! Looks good.
Was it major or minor surgery to put that lokar in?

Re: Switching from rod to Cable on the gas pedal
I put the Lokar throttle and kickdown cables on my truck... After screwing around for over an hour trying to get the GM kickdown cable to work with the Holley brackets I had, I gave in, spent the money on the Lokar stuff and had both cables installed in about an hour.
