I had a 61 Valiant that had a rod set up. That one twisted instead of push pull. I did the opposite, eliminated the cable and used a rod on my 64 Plym, Why do you want to change? Missing-broken parts? Check with Lokar Cable they might have something that will work.

The reason for the change is that I'm swapping the slant 6 for a Poly 318 and my new manifold and carburetor is quite a bit higher than the OEM rods and pivot points from the slant 6 linkage. I've also given thought to just making a new, longer set of rods. I have a Lokar cable left over from another project that is planned for the pickup if I go the cable route. I just wanted to see how others have gone after this same issue. Interestingly, the factory linkage is very simple and I think easy to adapt to the new engine and intake set-up. -EM

IIRC, the problem is that the pedal hinges on the floor, so it is pushing the rod. Not real sure how you could get it to pull a cable.
On my '66 Valiant I just used a later cable style pedal, but I wasn't concerned about looks. 99% of the people who looked in the car never knew the difference anyway.

On my '66 Valiant I just used a later cable style pedal. that's what I did, 2 holes in the floor to mount it & that very quickly solved that problem. just get a JY one with the right length cable.
