Drive by wire or drive by cable?

Trying to decide which way to go in my 69 Camaro build. Seems like the cable is the best way to go but would appreciate any input.

Depends on what motor you want to go with, budget, and the build you plan pretty much. If you go with dbw you need the gas pedal and tac module from the donor car.

I prefer the simplicity of a cable.

Absolutely cable is my personal preference. Simplicity is the main reason. But mainly because is something I don't have to remember when getting a donor and all the fixins.
