Auto Transmission Shifting Issue Since 4bbl Upgrade

Mr Follmer
When you install the Lokar kits, replace the "L" bracket that goes on the transmission end of the cable, with something more robust, like good thick angle iron. When I installed mine, I found that the flimsy bracket that came with it kept bending, throwing it out of adjustment. I made a thick angle iron "L" bracket, and have not had any problems since.
Also make sure you have the spring, that holds the TV in the forward posistion installed to hold the TV forward. The cable pulls against this spring when giving the engine more gas peddle. Take all the slack out of the wire in the cable housing. Have someone under the car (safely) to hold the lever forward, and then tighten the cable anchor screw, on the carb end. After its installed, and adjusted, check it once in a while as the wire can stretch, then you might have to readajust it., as I said.
Hope this helps Dave
I have to disagree Dave. A spring to hold the trannie lever forward is not recommended by the experts (Read the A&A article I posted earlier). It is not necessary. I had the Lokar kit on my 340/727 '69 Dart and it worked fine once I got it all adjusted properly (and that is a real trial & error task). And I never had an issue with Lokar's trannie cable bracket either. Perhaps in the last several years Lokar improved the kit? No idea how our Lokar experience could be so different.

Now, I will say that I like the stock parts better, mostly because once it's adjusted properly it stays adjusted. I found/procured all the correct stock pieces and did a bunch of research, and got the stock setup to work. If I hadn't been able to, I would have put the Lokar setup back on. I just prefer the stock setup, which works O.K. with a Holley, with Holley's bracket, an Edelbrock 7176 Performer intake, with no spacers under the carb. If anyone has a higher intake, or puts any kind of spacer under the carb, the stock lever/rod setup will never work, and you will have to go to a Lokar cable.
