General Installation Notes:
Please read these instructions completely before beginning
the installation.
Before beginning the installation, disconnect the negative battery
cable and use wheel chocks to block the vehicle's wheels.
Make sure the engine, transmission, body and frame are
properly grounded. We recommend using anti-seize lubricant on
all aluminum threads.
The Lokar Eliminator Floor Mount Throttle Pedal is designed to
work with a Lokar throttle cable. Most applications will require a
36" throttle cable. Vehicles equipped with a fuel injected GM LS,
Ram Jet, or Vortec engine will require a 48" throttle cable.
Step 1: Determine your desired mounting location. This throttle pedal
is designed to be mounted on the angled toe board just below
the vertical firewall, NOT on the horizontal part of the floor.
Fig. 1 The bottom edge of the pedal pad should be parallel
to the horizontal part of the floor. Make sure that the location
of the pedal bracket, throttle cable, and cable pull arm will not
interfere with any other components such as brake or fuel lines,
clutch linkage, wiring, or exhaust. Fig. 2
NOTE: If the cable pull arm creates interference because it
extends too far into the engine compartment, Lokar has a 1/2"
Throttle Pedal Spacer available that may be a solution. Part #
GPS-6016 (brushed) or XGPS-6016 (black).
Step 2: Remove the pedal pad from the throttle pedal assembly. Be
careful to keep the assembly together while the pedal pad is
removed. Lay the pedal pad on the toe board at the desired
location and angle. Check pedal position for comfort. Mark the
position of the pedal pad on the left side and the bottom of the
pedal pad using tape, a scribe or a marker. Fig. 3
Step 3: Remove the pedal pad from the toe board.
Step 4: Use the back side of the pedal bracket as a template. Position
it flat on the toe board with the left edge aligned with your
vertical mark, and the bottom left corner 3/4" above your
bottom mark. Fig. 4 Mark the four (4) bolt holes using a center
punch or marker, and also trace the inside of the rectangular
hole onto the toe board.
Step 5: Verify again that nothing is going to interfere with the pedal bracket
and that nothing will be damaged when drilling/cutting the holes. Use
a 3/16" drill bit to drill out all four (4) bolt holes.
The best way to cut out the center rectangle is to drill a hole in each
of the 4 corners in the rectangle. Then cut from hole to hole with a
die grinder cutoff wheel.
Step 6: Test fit the pedal assembly for proper location, clearance and angle.
Step 7: Remove the triangular splined bearing block from the cable pull
shaft. Fig. 5
Step 8: Temporarily install the pedal assembly and bracket onto the toe
board, using only two (2) of the four #10-32 x 3/4" button head bolts
and nylock nuts, installed in opposite corners, with the cable bracket
in place. Snug the nuts down just tight enough to hold the assembly
in place temporarily.
Step 9: The idle and wide open throttle pedal stops are button head bolts
with jam nuts that are located on the cable pull arm. The one on the
top side is the idle stop, and the one on the bottom is the wide open
throttle stop. Adjust the idle stop out so that the measurement from
the cable pull arm to the top of the button head is about 1/4". Fig. 6
Step 10: Raise the cable pull arm all the way up until the idle stop makes
contact, and reinstall the triangular splined bearing block with the
long flat side at the angle you want the throttle pedal to be at idle.
Step 11: Remove the pedal assembly from the vehicle and reinstall the
pedal pad onto the pedal assembly.

Step 12: Re-install the complete throttle pedal assembly with the pedal
bracket and all four mounting bolts. Pull the pedal all the way
up against the idle stop, and test for position and comfort.
Readjust if necessary. Once you are satisfied with the position
of the pedal, tighten the jam nut on the idle stop.
Step 13: Attach the throttle cable housing to the pedal bracket, following
the throttle cable installation instructions. Install the throttle
cable inner wire, and attach clevis to the cable pull arm. Fig.
7 For normal sheetmetal floors, connect the clevis to the inner
hole (closest to the floor). For fiberglass or other thick floors,
connect the clevis to the outermost hole in the cable pull arm.
Step 14: Adjust the throttle cable so that there is no tension on the inner
wire at idle. Then move the throttle to the wide open position
and hold it there. Adjust the wide open throttle pedal stop (on
the bottom side of the cable pull arm) out so that it touches,
to prevent overstressing the pedal, cable, bracket and throttle
linkage. Tighten the jam nut and release the throttle.
NOTE: If the pedal pad contacts the carpet or floor
prematurely and prevents the throttle from reaching the
wide open position, Lokar has a 1/2" Throttle Pedal Spacer
available that will help. Part # GPS-6016 (brushed) or XGPS-
6016 (black).
Step 15: Verify smooth operation with no binding. Verify that the idle
and wide open throttle stops are adjusted correctly.
