probably a horse that's been beat and driven into the mud a time or 3..... but I gotta ask....
First I am working on a /6 that I "super 6'd" with a factory intake, and a 318-spec BBD.... engine's running great, so far. I haven't moved it out of the garage, since the 2 bbl and engine transplant.
Gotta hook up the kickdown 1st.
My son has the Bouchillon setup on 2 vehicles (neither a /6) and (to me anyhow) it looks like a cobbled up contraption. I bought a Chinese Lokar 727 clone cable on Ebay, for like 1/5 the cost of an original Lokar cable. I haven't tried to use it yet. (other things gettin in the way of "work on truck" time at the moment, haha)
While looking on CL for "other things" a genuine Lokar cable for a 727 came up, new in the package? for right near what I paid for the imposter. New, still in package though package, though the packaging looks weathered/ "shelf worn".... old stock, I guess you'd say. I figure I can adapt something to hold the cable housing myself, that won't look as "cobbled" as I think the Bouchillon setup does (at least to me anyway) since original super 6 linkage is "unobtanium" at the moment. and even if I could find original super 6 stuff, most /6s were ahead of 904's. Mine has a 727 in it. (I don't think that will matter, but just sayin')
Of those who have used the "real thing" and those who have used the imposter Lokar cables, have you guys noticed any difference between them?
I mean, things like exhaust heat resistance, likeliness to break the internal cable, (or not), those sort of things.....
