    Lokar cables..


    Throttle and kickdown; has anybody used these?
    Reading the reviews on summit, you'd swear they were a God-send. Then I see all I really need is a $17 bracket to move throttle cable over just a bit for the edelbrock carb.

    Rick (Serehill) has some I think and loves them.

    I'm changing the title of your thread to 'Lokar' so he might see the thread.

      Never for your intended use but installed a Lokar shifter cable set up on a buds th400. Excellent quality.

        Agreed

        Yep, they look amazing, made in some country called "USA" might keep the kickdown and do away with the silly/ugly head mounted linkage.. orig. throttle cable is probably ok.

          Yes sir

          Brad is spot on They rock. I have no issues with both cables they are far better than what they replace. I've had mine for 5 years & would do it again.

          If you can't make it better why waste your time. No use repeating the orignal mistakes. I'm to old to push it that's why.

              Anyone Tried these cables on a Holley or Fitech EFI ?

              Been reading and researching a lot about these cables. I would really like to at least replace the old school kickdown linkage with one. I have recently installed a Holley Sniper EFI on my 82 Waggy 360/727.

              Has anyone done this yet? Does Holley sell any special brackets (Lokar doesn't YET .....

              Any info is always appreciated....

                I know this is an older thread but does anyone have photos of how they connected the Lokar cable to their stock gas pedal. Did you just put the stock plastic bushing that connects to the pedal on the Lokar cable?
