    Thank you! This was very helpful since the cable comes with zero instructions

    Owing a real Road Runner today is money in the bank.

    Lokar makes a complementary throttle cable replacement too..... I would highly recommend doing both.

    This is not quite as simple as he is showing. The pressure lever he is attaching the cable to under the car is from center to center of attaching hole aprox, 2 3/4''. The other end of the lokar cable attaches to the carburator arm which is aprox center to center of mounting hole 1 3/4''. The passing gear is a 1 to 1 ratio, meaning when the carb arm or lever moves 1 inch the pressure or passing gear lever has to move 1 inch.( no more, no less ) If this is not done right it will not function as it should. Too little pressure on the pressure lever can damage the transmission over time. I drilled the passing gear or pressure arm to match the carbutator arm lenth t get the 1 to 1 ratio that chrysler requires...

      Thank you for that tidbit of information. Simply knowing it is 1:1 is what I have been looking for. I converted to a Holly Sniper EFI and I installed a Lokar cable. I have been looking everywhere for the geometry. Thank you!

    Is it just me, or does it look like the carb was made by Magneti Morelli and Whataburger?!! 😁

    How do you know where to set the tension?

    • @taylormademusclecars
      @taylormademusclecars  2 года назад +4

      The Lokar paperwork shows a starting point but from there depending on your shift points you may want to adjust the cable a little bit at a time until you are happy with the way it shifts into second and third. Hope this helped.

    Does the bracket come with the cable? On summit it’s just the cable I think, can u provide a link on where you bought it? Thanks

      Sorry for late reply. Lokar sells something, but we usually make one.

    I installed this kit on my 727 and it has never shifted correctly since, and i have adjusted it multiple times.

    • @taylormademusclecars
      @taylormademusclecars  5 месяцев назад

      Tell me how it shifts? When you put it in drive and start driving is it shifting into second real quick or is it banging a hard second real late?

    • @aaronpate6617
      @aaronpate6617 5 месяцев назад

      @@taylormademusclecars when it's cold, before it has shifted a few times, it will over rev in first. Once it's warmed up, it will usually shift ok, but sometimes if I floor it while doing say 35, it will downshift as it should, and then upshift at the wrong time

      yeah, we agree. When the carb is changed out to after market the factory linkage never configures properly.

      You’ll need to first have everything hooked up as it should be then with the car off opener your throttle by hand 100% make sure your kick down cable is moving freely at the transmission take it for a ride and see if you like the shift point of 2nd & 3rd gear if you (don’t) then start adjusting your new cable at the carb one way or the other till you find a happy shift point
