fly by wire

Unless they are like 50lbs each and take up so much room you have to punch holes through teh firewall.. at which point he could operate the throttle levers by hand anyway so.....

They are small, about 4" tall, and they push-pull. 12V. Very cool.

The late model Tahoe has a fly by wire throttle body, perhaps parts could be harvested from the junk yard??

You would not need very much power if the motors push and pull, you would not need return springs. Let us know how you made out.

Thanks, Butch

Hey that sounds really cool! Electronic synchronization for dual carbs (if it's done right) should be much more accurate than the cross linkage, no matter how stiff it is. Good luck getting that to work. How are you going to send the electric signals to the servos from the accelerator pedal?

Throttle position sensor from an EFI car used as a sender ? Would sort of make sense, hehehe :)

Nope, the little thingamadoo located at the throttle pedal of a late model Tahoe would work perfect without reverse engineering...

Or about any potentiometer from the accellerator pedal of the later model ford diesels.

Don't you just love using new technology for old applications?
