Anyone one used the LOKAR cables?

Was wanting to know if anyone has installed a LOKAR cable kit on there 67-72 trucks? I have a 700R4 transmission and i am planning on getting the throttle cable and the transmission TV (kick down cable). I have read some bad stuff about them being a pain to get adjusted. Also do you have to buy a new gas pedal? thanks alot in advance. please send pics if you have any. Pics of the firewall and the gas pedal mounting. i will be installing this to a holley street advanger carb if that makes any kind of difference. thanks agin

I have the TV cable on mine. I don't have a good pic of the setup. I'll try to take one later.

As for adjusting, it's not that bad. I did use a geometry corrector bracket, too.

Good question, Im just getting ready to put a 700r4 in mine also...with a lokar throttle cable...I was going to use my old gas pedel but theres really no point to it. just a short rod might work, but I'm open to all new and cleave ideas...

Re: Anyone one used the LOKAR cables?

Everything I have used from Lokar (throttle cables, pedal pads and pedal kits, kickdown cables for TH350 and TH400) have been wonderful. Easy to adjust and they work great.

Re: Anyone one used the LOKAR cables?

Thanks for all the info guys but does anyone have a pic of how the cable attaches to the pedel? Can I use the factory style or do I need a new style?

Re: Anyone one used the LOKAR cables?

Here's the pics of my TV cable setup.




What year truck do you have? if it's a pre-71, I'm not sure of a way to attach the cable to the stock pedal setup. You would either need to get the Lokar pedal assembly or switch to a 71-72 pedal setup.
