This is the early hemi accelerator pedal position sensor box. I used this because the A518 transmission needs a throttle position signal through its TV (throttle valve) cable. It does the same thing as the old kickdown rods.

I added the box at the left side to bring the TV cable in opposite the pedal cable. It's made up of leftover 1-1/4" steel strap from the Nissan gas tank. Handy stuff.

The pivot is a drilled out hole in the arm. The TV cable needs no slack and 1-1/2" travel. Same as the pedal so the math works out. The pivot bolt rides in a machined down "holed binder bail" that I reduced to fit by chucking it in my drill and pushing it against a file. Aluminum chewed down to size easily. Lots of anti seize and a few washers and bolts and it's done. No $300 Chev throttle body using a cable.

Important to put key to run and slowly cycle gas pedal once to teach PCM the range from idle to WOT.

Also the box is not yet attached to the engine as there are lots of pieces fighting for space.
