Lokar kickdown w/ Holley carb - 07/25/09 10:42 PM

72 Demon 340 that now has a 400 big block, kickdown was not hooked up due to trying to use the small block kickdown ( not me previous owner ), I purchased the Lokar kickdown cable which looks great but I was told if useing a Holley carb I would need some kind od adapter at the carb and could be bought at any big auto supply. Any pics of this bracket or ?

Thanks

The special Mopar throttle lever extension is only needed when using the factory linkage, the Lokar uses tyhe existing hole in the bottom of the Holley throttle lever.

the pic of the sb with the lokar set-up shows everything needed.you do away with the stock throttle cable and kick down bracket.the kick down cable bolts to the throttle cable bracket that the lokar system uses

I have this system also mounted to my Holley and I have no issues. It worked great. Just make sure when you adjust your throttle pressure cable for the trans that you get it right. You can burn the transmission up quickly adjusted improperly.

Why not just get a stock BB kick-down errr throttle pressure regulator linkage... anyway much easier to install.

Because some of us snap off the pivot pin on the tranny.
