Does anyone have photos of their non-coyote throttle pedal install? I have an injected SBF with a 4150 style throttle body. So it has a carburetor style linkage on the engine side. The instructions say to only cut one cable end off, but it seems like with my setup I will need to cut both of the factory ends (the ball and the cylinder) off, and use both of the supplied ball stud and cable fittings, one at each end. The instructions clearly show installing the ball stud onto the throttle pedal, but don't show the cable attachment (though it would seem the other half would be implied). That is under the pedal install section. Under the cable install later, it shows cutting off the same barrel end, and attaching the ball stud retainer. I'm probably over thinking it. I just don't see how I don't use a ball stud and retainer at both ends with the Wilwood gas pedal and a carburetor style setup.

Also, the throttle arm side seems like it is going to be pretty close to the steering shaft, though I don't have it in yet.

I can't help with the cable question, i used a mechanical linkage but put the steering shaft in before locating the pedal. As you noted there is not much room and you will need to "play" with it to get it to fit.

I just now looked in the latest manual revision, 4W. They have, in fact, added several clarifying pictures and steps to these sections. It does have you cut both ends off, and use the ball stud adapters on both ends, for a setup like mine. I'm also debating about just buying one of the Lokar cables, which look nice, and have a slightly different method of attaching to the pedal.
