I need a kick down cable set up for my 340/727 a-body conversion. The engine has a Holley 750. I don't have any experience with this product or either of these company's so I'm looking for any advice/experience that will help with my decision, thanks.
Oh yeah, it's a hybrid.....it burns gas and tires!

bought AC stuff from Bouchillon, JR has got on the phone with me, seemed like a good guy who knew his stuff. I have a Lokar on one of my cars, next one will come from Bouchillon.

I have the Lokar setup....it works just fine when properly adjusted.
I've heard all over "the Bouchillon is a better product". Never bought one....never needed to replace the Lokar.
Same here

I was skeptical about the Bouchillon it because I wasn't exactly hooking it up to a conventional setup. I'll be honest. when I opened the box I saw a nightmare but when I read the instruction, they were so clear and concise, you just couldn't go wrong.
I had the Lokar setup years ago on my 70 Dart, Slant 6 / 904 and it was the universal kit. I had to make alot of bracketry to make it work right on the carburetor end. The trans was just a screw and a snap, the only thing is, it looked hokey.
The BP kit was a fantastic upgrade to my stock throttle and kickdown linkage (I got both kits that work off one another) FWIW, I hooked up the kit to a Dual Quad Eddy Manifold with Twin Edelbrock carbs.
