Pedal Assembly?
I'm trying to decide on a new pedal assembly and hoping some of you could provide your input. I want to keep the firewall as clean as possible and am having problems finding a vendor who can make this work. One more bit of information, the engine is EFI so don't have vacumn to work with.
As alwasy, I would appreciate your suggestions and comments.
Thanks.

I made my own hanging pedal assy for my 49. I had a pedal assy from a mid 90's Ford focus that I scavenged the brake pedal pivot, spring, and basic pedal from. I fabricated the bracket so taht the power booster/master cylinder could bolt through the firewall into the bracket. The bracket also bolts to the dash and ties in the steeering column mount (just like in new cars) to tie everything all together.
The hanging pedal assy bracket is fairly basic, some flat bar and some angle is all I used.
EFI should not effect the amount of vacuum and engine makes. There should be no noticable difference in vacuum between a carburated engine and an EFI engine. You only get wierd vacuum conditions on turbo charged or blown engines

Kugel makes an under dash setup and I think some others do also but they slip my mind. Here's a link to Kugel - http://www.kugelkomponents.com/produ...akesystem.html

That's the one I was trying to remember. It might be a little tight tho, there isn't a lot of room under the dash. The other alternative for a smooth firewall is an underfloor unit using a stock style pedal.

If your trying to keep firewall clean inengine bay by eliminating booster, another option might be a Hydro-boost unit..which presents a whole new set of fab/hose problems to overcome.

Thanks for the responses. I was looking at a hydro-boost unit. I hadn't seen the Kugel setup and will check it out.

TCI Pedal Assembly
Has anyone installed a TCI pedal assembly in their truck. This unit looks like it would work better then the other ones I've seen.
