Default 67 throttle rod to 68+ throttle cable conversion

Hey all,

My current factory throttle rod/gas pedal setup has worn out its welcome. The angle of the rod and how it attaches to the throttle shaft bracket on my FiTech is wrong, and has a horrible pedal operation.

I am going to convert it to a 68+ cable pedal setup. I have an aftermarket cable and bracket, and I am free from the bonds of looking original.

Question(s)...

1. Does the 68+ cable style pedal bolt up to the firewall in place of the 67 rod style pedal? Does it need additional brackets or adapters?

I am looking at something like this...

Looks to be a 6 cyl version, and I have seen something similar for Camaro 6 cyl and cross ram.

2. Has anyone done this before? As I am seeing it, it looks like I take out old 67 pedal, bolt up new pedal, drill hole in firewall for cable, hook up, and go.

I have no interest in the expensive billet stuff.

Thanks!
