EFI gas pedal mod ?

[72EB]

I've tried to find it on here, but no luck. Just dropped the 5.0 in, I need the mod for using the BC throttle cable, how to hook it up to the stock gas pedal...what's the best way???

Thanks Jim

Quickest solution is to call BC Broncos on their tech line and talk with Jason or Chuck. I have same thing from about 5 yrs ago but can't remember precisely how it's hooked up.
BC's guys are friendly and always helpful.

Hate to bring this up now, but the Duff throttle that LOKAR provides us clips directly onto the factory pedal.

The BC cable snaps right on as well with NO mods to pedal.

This is what I used and haven't looked back since!

if i recall...bc's requires removing the ball stud from the pedal lever..ive seen some pedals with a removable stud and some that the stud was welded in. i actually reused a older pedal i had because the 77 i have now had a welded in stud. im sure you can punch it out and or drill in from the back side

There are a few things to note on the BC kit
1) the bracket for the throttle is too far off axis, causing too much pedal travel. You will need to drill a hole behind the outward mounting screw

2) The cable supplied looks real nice, but mine had a lot of friction while moving it.

If you buy the BC kit, I highly recommend that you ask for a cable credit, and order the 48" Lokar Ford EFI cable. You will need to drill the ball off the top of your pedal, and drill a hole, but it will operate 100x's smoother.

I took a 5.0 Mustang pedal and cable from the same era as my 5.0 intake/throttle body. The cable snapped on the throttle body and clipped just like stock. Then I opened up the hole in the firewall and it passed right through. Then I drilled a new hole to secure it using the existing cable "ear". I did re-work the pedal to change the ratio to make it have the same range as the stock pedal. I made the bottom longer i think. $10 from the yard, 1 hr of work.

Not if you get the LOKAR cable we offer at Duff's. LOKAR makes it just for us and it snaps right onto the ball on your factory Bronco gas pedal.

This is true. I used the cable from Duff's and it was pretty much plug and play. I do not know anything about the other cable from BC or anywhere, just reaffirming what was said by Dudley. I am NOT a paid spokesperson either. ;D

Good luck!

How does it work on the Explorer TB?

 

[chuck]

My cable should not need to be modified to work with the mustang EFI. It was made to work with the mustang TB and EB peddle so the peddle ball does not need to be changed and there should be no drag on the cable, if there is something is wrong. The lever that I provide for the TB is to correct the difference in the EB peddle and the mustang TB but there is another hole if you like the throttle on/off switch feel.
PS we have a cable that works with the EB peddle and the explorer TB.

 

[01Dudley]

No problem on the Explorer cable either. You will use this cable#2343.
This cable has the correct end for the EB pedal and the barrel style fitting for the Explorer throttle body. Not to mention we offer all the Lokar kickdown cables to match.

Did I mention that LOKAR products are also made in the Good Ol' USA just down the street from us here in Tennessee!? Just thought I would throw that out there.
