Chad, I purchased the Lokar pedal for my 55 T-bird. I'm keeping the 292 but converting to a C4 transmission. I will use the Lokar throttle and kickdown cables as well. I have a Holley 1850 Street Avenger 570 carburetor on a 57 "B" manifold. Lokar has 2 pedals. I chose the one that most resembles the stock pedal. It did require cutting a hole in the firewall, about 3/4" above where the floor meets the firewall. I used a 2" cut-off wheel to make the hole. You can look at the pedal choices and installation instructions on Lokar's website. If you go this route, don't discard your original bellcrank assembly (or any OEM parts for that matter).
