DBW Accelerator pedal
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.

Re: DBW Accelerator pedal
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

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

Re: DBW Accelerator pedal
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

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.

Re: DBW Accelerator pedal
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?

Re: DBW Accelerator pedal
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.

Re: DBW Accelerator pedal
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

Re: DBW Accelerator pedal
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
