Throttle Cable question for Novas

[RON CHILDS]

Hi all i am getting ready to start ordering parts for my new car a 1969 Nova. It has the old Mechanical lincage for gas pedal i dont feel safe running that type of throttle. My Question is where can i get a Throttle cable and GAS pedal set up to fit or convert it ?? Some one must of went through this problem before . Any help in the right direction is appreciated.

Try looking at Lokar, they may have a neat setup that will work.

And run a minimum of 2 throttle return springs, 1 forward and 1 aft.

I would guess any of the mail order chassis companies would have a universal one that fits anything

Yes i see the ones they offer in Jegs and so on. I was wondering what types everyone running a Nova Camaro with a 1050 Dominator arecurrently running ??

Ron,
I run a 1050 Dominator w/Jeg's morse cable onto one of their throttle brackets. It works great.

Ron - try checking out Randy's............

You'll probably find a pedal and cable that works as good as all that ($$$) stuff.

I always thought the solid linkage would be the better way to go. Reasoning being if you ever want to run a throttle stop you'll need it and gives you a toe lift for safety. It is on my to-do list.

Hey Jim cool thought but not for me. lOL I dont cut coreners on safety stuff. LOL.. I might just order stock cable and pedal and get a adjustable bracket. My maine goal is to make lincage a bit safer and get a Adjustable throttle bracket so i can slow car down to 10.00 so i can avoid all the extra stuff required. LOL....On a good note i have a Brand New Set of 31x14x15 tires for you never ran still on the car i am going bigger. Call me if your interested jim. ..Smink thats something to think about i never thought of that ?? hmmm Anyone else running Mechanical Lincage ??

Ron, I use a stock pedal and cable with a CSR adjustable bracket, works great for me.

Ron as someone mentioned before the Lokar set up WILL bolt to the floor and the second thing that Henderson mentioned, run a spring fore and aft. That's maine talk for front and back. Check your spelling of main or maineor mane . LOL
