Lokar Throttle and Kickdown for a 67 Coronet 440?

[MT_Mopar]

I have a 67 Coronet 500 with a 1975 440ci motor, carb is an edelbrock 1406, tranny is a 727 auto.

I am looking to switch out my old throttle cable and mechanical kickdown lever.

Anyone running this setup with Lokar cables? Any part numbers and bracket part numbers/pics would help me a ton.

this is what the throttle cable without mechanical kickdown lever looks like on RB block
......the cable is great! need to fabricate hardware to work.

I thought I saw somewhere that Lokar made a complete setup for both the throttle and kickdown.

I bought a complete set from Mancini Racing which works very well and no fabricating at all

I installed both Lokar cables on my 1969 Coronet R/T with Edelbrock 1407/750. I'll send you some photos later this afternoon.

Here you go.

My 2 cents...Use a Dremel cut-off wheel to cut your cables neatly.

I have both the throttle and kickdown cable on my 440 with the Edelbrock RPM manifold and Edelbrock AVS 800. They work fine... now... The products are nice, but once you put it together, check your kickdown lever travel at the transmission. In many cases, you'll find you have more travel at that lever than at the carb. Ideally you want this to be one-to-one. 100% throttle = lever all the way back. 0 throttle? Lever all the way forward. I had to drill a new hole in my kickdown lever to get the ratio right.

Also note that factory linkage forces the kickdown lever all the way forward when you get off the throttle. The hard linkage and spring up by the carb do this. With a cable, you lose this action. The easy solution is to add a spring to the lever on the transmission and another mounting point to pull it forward.

Having said that, Bouchillion and maybe A&A make a cable that is supposedly better (as far as the kickdown is concerned). Either one can work, but the factory stuff works too. Unless it's broken, why replace it?
