I am going from a TH400 to a TKO600 with a kit from CC5S. I need to order the linkage/pedal kit and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to who may manufacture a high quality kit OR should I scrounge up original GM stuff?
I have always messed around with auto stuff, so with this being my first time setting one of these up I feel a little like Stevie Wonder in a China shop.
Thanks for any help/advice.

I got my pedals from a resto house. Any pedal set out there should work for you. I have never heard about issues with this kind of part. If you have a standard likage setup you'll need the pedals, pedal pads, and likage rod set. You could step up and get the aftermarket heim rods, but mine are stock replacements. If you have a hyd. setup you'd only need the pedals and pads. Just watch out with the clutch arm. The ones that most cluth makers sell are too long and mess up the ratio, causing clutch trouble.

Forgot that, I'm going with a mechanical setup.

I bought the pedals, pads and z-bar and linkages from these guys. Reasonably priced and nicely made. They referred me to a dealer who actually gave me better pricing than their website listed.

Mechanical linkage stuff is pretty easy to come by.
Make sure to use the appropriate clutch fork (arm).
The arm for a '67 to '69 camaro is different from a '70 and up.
It has a definite angle at the end so it clears the tunnel.
'70 and up is straight and will hit the tunnel.
GM Part # 3892632 for th '69 clutch fork

Well, I did the same thing on my car a while ago and I went to a company on ebay named muscle cars only... They have a complete kit from pedals and all the linkage you will need for a 69 camaro for $159.00 I thought it was reasonable and the nice thing about it is that it was complete and fast shipping too. Here is the link on ebay for them.
