How do you accelerate ?

Just plotting my gas pedal in the kids buggies. Just wondering what you have used that has worked well. I want something that is smooth and needs to be mounted 6-7 ft from the throttle on the engine.

I used a toggle switch (off-on) in mine...
Might not work good in a kids buggy, though.

Fiero throttle cables are 9' long and can be had for under $50

Used an ebay cut to length throttle cable when I wad running a 4.3. Swapped in a DBW 5.3 make a world of difference.
Try to keep the cable bends to a minimum and no sharp bends as well.
I considered using a linkage system too.

Old buggy had some homemade pedal and cable. New one will have a lokar pedal and cable

Can I get my vice grips back?

I run a universal lokar on my Yj and it works great, great quality product

I took your advice and got the lokar 72 inch one.

Good deal. They are smooth as glass even when twisted up. I did the junkyard route and tried a bunch of different combos at one point, they all **** the bed or had bad drag. When I went to the Lokar I couldn't believe the difference. Huge waste of time trying to rig other setups.
