Does anyone have any suggestions on a DBW throttle pedal for a corvette LS2 going into a 69 camaro? Most of the results Google is turning up for me are out dated.

There’s this GM part that’s priced right, but I can’t tell from the pictures just how wide the pedal is.

Here's another one from PSI that's more expensive, but looks a little more like a conventional pedal (not that either is really going to match a stock clutch and brake pedal).

The top one is commonly known as the Corvette pedal and it comes with the GMPP kit. I used to have one, if I recall correctly its no wider than 3". The only thing I could see being a hiccup is if your pedal plug is not pinned for either of those, but that's an easy fix. If you have a pull it yard near you, the CTS pedal is the same as the Corvette

That's interesting. From what I could dig up, the top pedal is from a Cadillac CTS (and CTS V). At least that's what the application info says. The bottom pedal actually looks like the pedal that came out of the C6 Corvette. As best I can tell, the Part Number is 25835421, which according to Rock Auto is the 2005-2013 pedal. That's what I ended up ordering from Amazon ($87), along with the DSE bracket ($40). Once everything gets here, I'll let you know how it works out.

You're right that is the CTS pedal....

It looks like the CTS pedal drops down almost vertically. So the adapter brackets stand off further from the firewall.

The C6 pedal looks like the arm holds the pedal further forward. So the adapter brackets don't have the standoff. I'm hoping the C6 pedal looks closer to the factory 69 camaro pedals. We'll see. It's really hard to tell just from the pictures.

Now I have to go back and find that post I ran across with the recommended positioning of the accelerator pedal compared to the brake and trans tunnel.

the C6 pedal would look more like factory. I bought a pedal bracket from Scarebird when I was looking for something for my CTS pedal. It said it was for 70-81 Camaro, but I'm not sure it made any difference.

Absolutly essential in a sec gen. I noticed I couldn't actuate the pedal full motion with the stock pedal pad. This kit offered by scarebird is awesome!

Mine was in an A body, but it worked fine while I had it.

Anybody with the Holley Dominator running the corvette pedal? The manual references the ctsv pedal only.

I’m planning to run it with the dominator ECM. I found a few replacement plugs online for the C6 pedal that looked exactly like the photo in the Holley manual. Hopefully they turn out to be the same, otherwise I’ll have to buy another Holley harness or rework the harness that comes with it.

I think Holley only offers 3dbw harnesses for the Dominator; Dual TB, Single DB and Early Truck. I'm almost sure they have the same TPS sensor plug, CTS-V and C6 pedal the pinout just might be different. I would imagine just repin the pedal and you should be all set. I had done that before with my stock harness when switching pedals. The color codes for the wires should be the same.

I wish there was a thumbs up button. I would click it.... more than once!

Thanks for the info.

The C6 pedal will work with the Dominator. The 2009 Impala SS pedal will work also. I al using the Impala pedal in my Cougar with a Dominator.

The Holley instructions are very specific that the DBW harness should not be modified.

Just to be clear the C6 pedal would be plug and play?

I have zero reasons to believe that it would not be OK, but I have not personally tried it.

The ACC 1007 pedal is what PSI sold me for my Corvette LS2. It is a factory part that you may be able to find a few bucks cheaper elsewhere.

That is a C6 pedal.

That's the pedal I linked to in the first post. As Andrew said, it does appear to be the C6 pedal, and I found one on Amazon to my door for a little cheaper than the list price at PSI.
