Step 1.

Remove the cowl panel and stock gas pedal with all associated parts.

Step 2.

Move any wires or objects that are in the ear of the pedal under the dash. Disassemble the new pedal. 

Step 3.

Use a drill and 9/64" drill bit to drill out the stock holes in the firewall.

Step 4.

Take an air grinder and sanding disc to smooth the hole flush.

Step 5.

Install the main bracket. A magnet will help hold it in place if you're working solo.

Step 6.

Climb back out of the car and install the backing plate. A 7/16" wrench is all you need as the bolts have been tig welded to the bracket.

Step 7.

The top of the pedal needs to go through the lower cowl.  An air powered saw is the tool for this job. 

Note: Hole does not need to be this big, just big enough for pedal to fit through.

Step 8.

You need to drill a hole in the firewall so that the throttle rod and join the carb and pedal.

[

Step 10.

Now you are going to need an extra hand. To adjust the rod you need to mash the pedal while someone else opens the carb to full throttle and pushes a pin through the appropriate holes when they line up.

Step 11.

That's it you're done, reassemble everything!

Shock Relocate Kit

67-69 Camaro /68-74 Nova

Kit Consists of: 7 Pieces­

• 2ea. upper shock cups (Camaro-80 degree, Nova-70 degree)  Check back of cup for stamped degree
• 1ea. upper Shock Brace
• 4ea 3/8 Bolts

Tools required:

• Hole saw 2 ea.   ¾   & 2 ¼
• Welder : Wire or Tig
• 9/16 socket or wrench

Step 1

Center Bracket per picture in pocket flush against vertical body panel

Step 2

Mark large holes for cutting on body  
2ea. ¾ holes per side ( Bolt Location)
1ea 2 ¼ hole per side ( Top shock mount)

Step 3

Cut holes both sides. You will not be cutting into the factory pocket as you can see in the trunk. You do not need to cut out the floor any more than the first panel cut.

Step 4

Weld Square  MetalShock Pockets ( Tig or Wire)
Small Stich Welds around square shock mount brackets is enough.
Note: The round tube does not have to be welded as it’s merely a locating and brace device.

Step 5

Install cup over shaft of shock with busing above and below shock cup. Tighten per shock instructions and put shock up into the new body hole and thread the two supplied bolts to secure upper shock rod.

Clarification: The welded nuts on the back will now go up into the pocket where you can thread your shock plate into. The large hole you have just drilled is where the top of the shock is contained. (This facilitates getting the shock as high as possible in the car without protruding into the car)

Install the cups so they are angled correctly towards the lower spring perch which should contain a lower shock mount tab. You may have to add spacer to the tab or cut away some part of the tab so the shock can adapt to your lower perch. Since there are so many spring/shock mounts out in the market, sometimes the lower mount has to be modified unless it’s ours.
