Tps position
Hi folks, I just want to bounce an idea about to see if its got legs;
I've been doing a bit of forward planing tonight and looking at the position of the tps on the edelbrock 500 carb. I've got a few ideas
for this which involve fabricating some fancy brackets to mount it on the side of the carb (activated via the primary butterfly spindle).
Then I thought.....a simpler solution would be to mount the tps on the accelerator pedal. I could use the pivot point on the pedal to drive the sensor
shaft.
I know to achieve good accuracy I'd have to make sure that there was no slack in the accel cable.
Has anyone else done this?
Do you think it would work?
Ps...I don't fancy messing about with the megajolt converting it from tps to map.
As always, all comments are greatly appreciated.

Will work but not ideal...any movement / adjustment of throttle cable will need the TPS recalibrating. Throttle cable will also stretch over time,
again throwing it out....

Ideally it needs to fixed to the butterfly so any movement will register and the calibration will be spot on.
Last thing you want is the signal wandering about at idle.

I did think the pedal solution would be too good to be true!
Does anyone have any pics of a tps installed on an edelbrock 500
