Default Converting rod to cable linkage

69' Nova with a BBC Chevy and a Holley 4150 carb, stock floor. Currently it has a stock style rod linkage that has been reinforced. It also has a positive stop on the firewall to prevent over extending of the throttle shafts passed WOT. I would still like to convert the car to a cable linkage to improve consistency and eliminate one more variable as far as consistent throttle opening goes.
Although Lokar doesn't list a pedal for 68-74 Novas, it seems like the 67-69 Camaro pedal would work. The Throttle arm shaft bushing that goes through the firewall is the same part # for 68-69 Camaro's as the Nova. I believe 67 differs in that its metal? This leads me to believe that the throttle pedal is on the same angle in the camaros as the Nova's.
Many years ago I pulled a cable linkage pedal out of an early 70's Nova with the intention of one day putting it on the car. Since I was living at mom and dad's at the time and it didn't make the move with me, I'm not sure if I'll be able to find it at their house.
If thats the case, I'm interested in a lokar pedal, just wondering if they're worth $120 plus whatever the cable is and linkage plate with return springs that Jegs has and If anyone has successfully mated the 67-69 Camaro pedal to a 68-74 Nova. Thanks in advance.
