Those of you who have switched to a throttle cable, did you prefer a firewall or floor mount pedal system? And why?

I prefer the Lokar throttle cable kit and have mounted three of them on firewalls in lieu of mechanical linkages. It has a bell crank at the bottom of the pedal assembly that protrudes through firewall/floor. This setup allows you maximum
flexibility in positioning. Fits in very tight quarters.

my 2 cents

I opted for the Lokar, mounted on the firewall, as cable has almost a straight run to the carb linkage.

Okay. Thanks, Mike & Bruce. I kinda thought the firewall is the easier run. And, Bruce, checked you webshots to see your set up. Nice. And your interior is a "wow"!

Can you use the Lokar cable on a stock 63 chevy truck pedal?

Drew...thanks for the compliments
Jon.....check the Lokar website for details. They have a few different options for pedals and cables.
