Default chevelle throttle pedal??

I have not seen anywhere in the forums where it speaks to what people are using for throttle pedals for the LS conversion in the Chevelle or A-body platform so they can switch from mechanical rod type linage to a cable throttle for the LS engines

Pics would be helpful especially if you are fabricating the pedal

thanks

Ken,

You can use your factory pedal the rod just needs to be bent a bit to achieve WOT. You can use a lokar LS swap cable or I just pulled one from an s10 blazer at the scrap yard

Hope this helps

thanks

I have also read you can use a camaro 1967 or so gas pedal from a 6cyl that is a cable pedal. That is what I am planning so far.

I used the Lokar pedal designed for early A body swaps. It bolts to the same place as the original pedal and is adjustable.

This is for the 64-67

I bought the local stuff and haven't gotten that far yet. Looking forward to it as the directions seem very straightforward.

I picked up a 60s Nova pedal for my LS swap, but in the end went with DBW so it was never used. Very easy swap to get rid of the rod though.
