Here's the important part that everyone leaves out. Once you've adjusted/modified the Lokar linkage and lever for the correct arc travel distance as the throttle moves from idle to WOT, it's time to adjust the cable for proper main line pressure rise upon throttle opening.
So, you've got the hole drilled in the lever. You've figured out the throttle bracket sweep distance and the correct detent lever sweep distance. Now, attach a pressure gauge to the line pressure port, second one back on the right.

A cable too tight and it'll have a hard garage shift, late/rough upshifts, and an early passing gear down shift with a delayed upshift.
A cable too loose and you'll get early upshifts, no passing gear downshift, and possible slipping that'll destroy the transmission.
There is only one correct adjustment position for the cable and only one correct lever to throttle travel ratio. All other adjustments are done elsewhere on the transmission. Shift points are a function of the governor, and line pressure is properly adjusted on the valve body.
Good luck
