I'd like to convert the linkage type gas pedal in my '60 Valiant over to the cable type. Is there any particular year or model that works best? I have a donor 1973 slant six Duster that I hope to get these parts from. Any tips appreciated! thanks

That should work fine. I think many late model Mopars (minivans, K-cars, etc?) would work too, but I have not done any kind of survey on this. I have converted all my 67-down A-bodies to cable throttle. I think all of the pedals I used were either late A-body or F-body.

I used a '71 Dart pedal in my '66. Just be very careful when mounting it so you end up with full pedal travel and a comfortable foot position when your done. Measure twice, drill once.

Thankyou guys. Just curious to know how many problems could have been attributed to that early style linkage. Its original linkage is all there but it seems like alot of/and relatively heavy parts controlling the delicate carburetor its attached to. The cable set up seems so much more reliable. Will definately check for best placement....thxs

The problems I had were binding/sticking. I messed around with a bunch of stuff, including ball bearings/flanges, and adding a cable to the rotating rod linkage. Once I put the cable pedal assy in, no problems.

I got rid of mine when I went from a 1bbl to an Offy and 390 Holley.
