Yep, it's electrical where the TH350 is mechanical. The saving grace behind the Lokar setup is that it uses an electrical switch mounted down low near the transmission, so the actual actuating mechanism is a cable on the throttle linkage on the carb just like the TH350 setup. I've had people look at it completely confused until I showed them the switch I have mounted in the frame.

If Lokar has a setup for a TH350 (which I'm sure they do) it would be cheaper than mine because it wouldn't include the electrical switch (which is milled billet aluminum and VERY well made). I'd guess it would land somewhere in the $50-$60 range, where mine was closer to $100 (gulp).
