I was thinking that a spoon pedal might work well, also....then just make it work.

I’ve used this style Lokar throttle which is a firewall mount on 2 builds. Put where you want it, works good. Should work with the TV bracket. Comes in black, couple different sizes. I looked at the thru floor but had the same concerns you do.




Pretty car. If the rear gears are 3.3x or lower (higher numerically) the AOD should be perfect. Having a real low makes a huge difference, as does the o/d.

I am hoping I can use the Lokar bracket off the carb to run the TV cable and the OEM rod and pedal to run the gas.

Looks like they will not interfere with each other, but I do not have the bracket yet to know for sure.

Do you have to use a floor mount pedal?  There are firewall mount options that hang more like modern vehicles.  A stock pedal can probably be modified as well but I don't have a car to look at for any ideas about how to do that.  For that matter, does the throttle have to be cable actuated?  Could the existing linkage be made to work?  I would guess that the throttle does not care how it is actuated but there are details I don't know that might make that false.

But the problem is this Yuge lever needs to travel inside the opening.

It also needs to mount on the angle and not the flat of the floor.  What are the chances I will also need their $50 spacer, so it does not bottom out on the angle before going full throttle.

Could you make some sort of filler plate to bolt or screw on, possibly using existing screws or bolts?

Either am I as you can see.  But I am wary of a rectangular hole on the firewall open to the elements and such.

Did you use a Lokar Eliminator?

Since I had to run a TV cable to the carb I just went with two cables and changed the foot pedal for the gas. I'm running a 750 Holley so I bought the hookup adapter for the TV plus gas cable. Works great no problems. Of course I'm not a Concourse type anyway.

Y's guys rule!

Thanks.  Honestly that should all be on the same front wall under forums with its own category called Social Forums.  Who has time to search all around to find out what is where.  I used to get emails to tell me I had answers to my thread, but they stopped.  I have forgotten what site I posted what questions LOL

Sky…on the HAMB right under the red bar top there is a line with 6 icons. The second one with people heads. Tap on it, then “social forums” then “brands” then scroll to 1952-59 Ford Social Group and join it.
