 To many dam egos on this forum. Why can't we just respect other's methods of repair, maybe offer easier solutions without standing on a soap box and BASHING  every other product and form of repair. It is getting real old! 
you must be new here

It's worth noting that many of those who claim to have no problems with the Lokar actually do have problems, they just don't know it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif" alt="" /> That's for sure There are 4-5 levers made by Chrysler for kickdown on the trans so there's no way every Lokar kit works perfect I sold the Lokar & installed them for years until Bouchillion came out with theirs I'll never recommend another Lokar kit unless it's for a GM application The hole drilling & using erector set metal to get the ratio right is over  Made by Mopar people using mostly all Mopar parts not GM designed to fit a Mopar

save your money and use the bouchillon kit or the factory rods/linkage. in my several experiences with the lokar crap, the bracketry was tin can flimsy and the cable stretched endlessly, never staying adjusted. i'm glad it wasn't my $80ish bux invested. i could have fabbed up a better setup using bicycle cable. all 3 setups were eventually trash canned in favor of the factory setup.  I fabbed one together before Bouchillion did with the help & advice of John Kunkel & JohnRR using factory parts along with a throttle cable bracket that I made myself & a piece of Erector set metal that I used many times when I tuned the Lokar crap to work I had a new Lokar in the wrapper that I threw in the trash this past spring while cleaning out my garage
