Great information! As far as the gas pedal, do I get a new one that is cable operated?
Generally speaking one would use a cable connected pedal from a 1967 on up. I don't know why minivans, K cars, trucks etc. pedals wouldn't work. Cable length needs to be taken into consideration. In other words most any Mopar pedal would probably work pre fly by wire, you just need to locate a close enough length cable. For instance the pedal on my 82 LeBaron would probably bolt right in, but where it has a transverse mounted 2.6 engine with its carburetor just inches from radiator that cable is about two feet too long to use on a slant.
One would have to adapt a universal cable, or locate a new or used A body cable; I think V8 cables are a bit shorter. Using a Mopar cable in conjunction with the parts I listed above in a previous post will install with no fiddling or diddling around cobbling up a contraption, it will bolt right up just like it was from the factory.
My cable came with the car, I had to form a loop in it between fire wall and carburetor and don't know if it as a slant cable or a V8 cable. I had to shim about 1/4th inch under the pedal's lower edge mounting base to get full WOT articulation of Holley throttle plates even with Holley Mopar adapter, the transmission throttle pressure / kick-down cable sync up just fine.
