Need advice on converting stock pedal/linkage arrangement to cable, etc. Any successful stories out there? Any suitable "kits"? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 119 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 119 | Lokar has the setup you need. Google "Eliminator Floor Mount Throttle Pedals". I think Summit and Jegs sells them.

Then picked the one that worked the best for my app and shaped a chunk of hard maple into a mounting block and bolted the pedal to that. It works very well now on my small block and q-jet. Not sure about your specific app though. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 138 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 138 | I was thinking of using the Lokar spoon setup on my 57 with a 283 and Edelbrock 650. Besides looks, is there a difference in the spoon and eliminator floor mount pedal?

Bad rust and worse wiring, but so much fun.
