| Post subject: | Lokar Cable Install HELP! |
Summit did an excellent job getting the cable to me.... Awesome service! The instructions included from Lokar are dismal at best. I think the bracket that connects to the tailshaft is pretty straightforward, but at the carb end I'm not "getting it" From the tailshaft, the cable turns 180 degrees & goes up to the engine compartment. Is the cable supposed to then do another 180 from in front of the carb position to come back to the linkage? Do I need to fabricate a bracket for the carb end? Any info is greatly appreciated, and if anybody had a pic or two, I'd be very grateful! If a bracket is needed, I'm thinking about fabricating an integrated bracket/EGR cover/spring return plate out of aluminum to handle all the cables & bracketry.... I've already done an EGR cover/spring return & polished it.... Looks great, but I want the Lokar setup & Super Six stuff to be a real clean install.... Thanks! |

I installed one on a 361 (throttle pull direction should be the same). you will just come in from the back of the carb, no need for another 180. Here's a couple pics, let me know if you need any more info.

I used the bracket from lokar. it makes it really easy to use both their throttle and kickdown cables. |

Ahhhhhh! Things begin to make sense! Thanks for posting the pics... I'm going to fabricate a bracket for the throttle & KD Cables, and will also be an EGR cover, and arm for the return spring..... Hopefully I can make it a one-piece deal that will make for a nice clean install. Will post pics if I'm successful! Thanks again! |
