Re: Frankentruck

The carb that I got was originally intended to be used with a cable style gas pedal. There seemed to be no good option for me adapt the original mechanical linkage to the cable linked part on the carb. After reading through Markeb01 's thread about his cable style install, I went to a junkyard and found a good pedal out of an 83 Blazer. I got a new cable from work because all the cables at the junkyard looked bad.

I trimmed off the excess material off the mounting piece, and ish positioned the pedal where I wanted it to go. After puling back the floor mat and firewall pad, I discovered some original paint that was unharmed by the PO's beige respray.
