So I then realized I had a linkage throttle and I REALLY want to keep a somewhat stock look to my truck (no Lokar pedals or pedals that look like an aluminum footprint, thanks!) and the new motor requires a cable setup. Lucky for me, in '71 Chevy converted to a cable throttle and one can do a very easy and nice job if you've got a drill press and some files.

I scored the accelerator assembly out of a 71-72 from teeitup and I was even able to use some of the bracketry to make my new retainer plate.
MANY THANKS TO Putter FOR DOING THE LEGWORK ON THIS CONVERSION!!!
