DBW Accelerator pedal

[87Skier]

I want to keep the factory pedal in my 72 (without altering or just welding the pad onto the new pedal), is there a remote pedal, similar to this TCI TPS,
that plugs into the TAC module?

If not, I might be looking at an older engine or converting a newer one to work with a cable.

Thanks!

PS: looking at an LM7 using the factory computer.

Why not just switch the throttle from dbw to dbc if your wanting to keep your factory pedal..that's what I did on my lq9

I do not want the drive by wire pedal. I want to keep my original pedal.

I'll probably be going this route, and following this guide: http://www.lt1swap.com/cable_conversion.htm

This looks pretty original to me, . Bolts into the factory location and uses the factory pedal pad and trim.

Dang skier..I just glanced thru that link you posted and my heads swimming..I'd have to read thru it when I get time...all it took me to swap from dbw to dbc was to swap the throttle (butterfly) on the intake..i used one from a 99 camaro ..the guy that setup my ecm programmed it for bdc and my harness was built for dbc..all I had to do was plug it in..and ad a throttle cable..fairly simple

That's only if you have a newer ECM and harness and don't want to buy another ECM, harness, etc...

I just remembered why I wanted to go with DBW: cruise control. Do you have cruise control? Not really sure how GM did cruise control for drive by cable applications.

Mine is a 2002 model lq9 from a escalade..I'm sure it had cruise..but my truck doesnt and i didnt want cruise anyway..I used that 2002 ecm from that engine and a psi harness built for dbc...any reason why your dead set against dbw pedal?

Here's some stuff on dbc cruise..http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=413973

I'm not dead set against it by any means. I just don't want to part with the my original pedal. I know it seems crazy/weird, but its a slippery slope and I decided that I want my interior to look original as possible.

I totally understand the wanting to keep the interior looking as stock as possible, that's the way I like them too, but you can make the DBW pedal match and be almost completely unnoticeable. I think mine looks pretty stock and is DBW.

But if you want to go DBC I have a write up on hooking up the cruise control. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=511477

I understand keeping original..I'm trying to keep my 53 interior as original as possible but it will have a dbw pedal in it..I'm still torn on my brake and clutch pedals...I like the way they look and work thru the floorboard but I may have to give in and firewall mount-em

[mongocanfly]

Harts and ls1s setups are nice..and like they said almost can't even tell it ..put your stock pedal on it and let-er rip

This is my DBW pedal with HartRods bracket. Sitting in the drivers seat it looks pretty factory.
