280zxSheik Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I'm in the process of doing a tpi sbc swap in a 280zx. I was curious what throttle cable is everyone using? I have access to many accelerator cables and pedals from many donor cars so I'm very open to suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoSammyT Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I don't use a cable, but here is one from Motorsports Auto... http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic13/10-1862 No sure on the zx, but on the s30 there is a smaller metal arm on the firewall that turns when you press the gas pedal. I extended that with a small piece of metal, then hooked it up using a throttle connection rod. TH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zxSheik Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Recent update to my 280zx build is I got over zealous with my motor selection and ended up buying a l05 5.7 out of a caprice, a lt1 out of a Buick road master and a lm7 5.3 from a gmc Denali. Right now the LT1 & LM7 are on stands, I put a complete tpi set up on the l05 tbi 5.7and that will be going in the 280zx. Unfortunately some accessories are missing. What starter should I use? Should I use the stock datsun battery cables and wiring? What can i eliminate from the stock TPI harness? The motor has a roller cam l05 from a buick, can I use a distributor from an 86 305 tpi camaro?
