Who's makes the best cable kick-down

abodyjoe said

are you using an entire lokar kit? you know, throttle and kickdown cables , lokar brackets at the carb and return spring kit? or is it some Frankensteined together thing? if its all lokar you have something hooked up or run wrong if its harder to push the throttle down then a factory set up... every lokar set up i've ever installed operated smoother and has less resistance then a factory set up...

I believe you're right on that.
I was running a complete full Lokar, the throttle is also partly a fab job, with a long rod up to a bellcrank at the front of my van. With the KD disconnected, my throttle operated smooth and easy, when adding the KD it definitely required a little noticeable effort going full throttle. The KD was hooked up and routed correctly per the instructions. The kd lever length (the lever I was using was a little shorter in order to match the carb) and the spring in the valve body were likely (now with a clearer mind this morning) the reasons why it was slightly stiffer, not the cable. So I stand corrected. And as church lady said "never mind":BangHead:
