Lokar cables- best place to buy? Which ones do I get?

[Cruisingram]

Just noticed something I have not ordered for my /6 upgrade on the dart- transmission kick down and throttle cables for the Webert 38 2bl on a 2 bl manifold for the 225 I am putting in it. Where do you guys get them most of the time, which ones are the correct ones, and who got them before and liked them? Any issues? Any particular length needed?

Tho I have no part numbers Jegs or Summit for Lokar . Look for 904 for correct trans bracket/cable kit.
Using a Weber you may have to come up with a bracket for attachment. Weber I have no experience always ran Edelbrocks on my Slants.
I have used the factory throttle cables, the Slant one is usually the longest. Depending on where the carb sits you may also use a V8 cable as it is much shorter.
Also Spectre makes universal throttle cable kit that is less expensive than Lokar. I do believe they have a torqueflite kick down cable too.
It has been awhile since I have done the Slant .Photo is a Manual shift but shows a homemade bracket using a A body V8 cable.
One more is Bouchillon Performance. They have cable kick down and or throttle cables too.

Nice looking motor brah! thanks for in info- I was sure I read a post on this site that a guy did this swap I am doing already.

On a related note, be sure to lubricate new cables with the correct lube. It helps extend the cable's life and helps to keep moisture out of them.

For instance, I just ordered a universal set of E-brake cables for a project I'm working on pulled the inner cable out and sprayed some ZEP lubricant into the empty sheaths until it made it to the end and dripped out. Then put the cable back in.

AFAIC, the correct one is "none". Too many different kinds of problems with Lokars. See this thread for better kickdown options.
