Of course it hasn't come in yet so I can't say if it is the right fit.

| | | | | Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 725 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 725 | A stock 1975 pedal and bracket. I got it free when I scrapped the truck. There are 2 different cable lengths, one for V-8 and one for L6. Shouldn't be over $5-10 at the U-pull-it yard. I have been told that the same unit was used from the '60s till 1987.
best wishes,
Les | | | | | Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 205 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 205 | It seems that a 67 to 87 pedal assembly will work. My question is........ Did any of you have to do any modifications to anything? Will the cable system work on any carb?
Let me know what you think....

| | | | | Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 104 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 104 | I used a pedal and cable assembly from a late model (1999 or 2000) Chevy S-10. It bolted on perfectly and the cable is the right length to connect with a Holley 4-barrel on a 350 small block. No modifications were necessary. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | Here's the accelerator pedal I used. The cable is a Spectre universal cut-to-fit from Autozone.

On mine with the salvage pedal all my Uncle had to do was make a round hole square for the stock cable to clip into on the the firewall other than that everything was pretty much "Plug & Play", the Caddilac cable was a bit long a cable from a mid 70's malibu was the perfect length.
I had to make the square hole round again for the new lokar Cable to install the new pedal.
