Ok, I did a brief search and couldn't really find what I was needing. Looking for throttle and kickdown cables from lokar. Both for my '68 coronet 383/727. I had a lokar throttle cable on my '65 coronet but cant remember which one it was / size. For those of you running both throttle and kickdown cables or either one from lokar please let me know which ones will for for me. Much appreciated ! thanks, Erik
 
Thanks ! so would I need to entire kickdown kit, or just the cable ? and what about brackets for the kickdown ?
 
I bought the polished throttle and kick down cables and the mounting bracket with springs. See below for applications taken from the Lokar catalog downloaded from their website. Items I used are in red.

Hi-Tech Throttle Cables
All Lokar Hi-Tech Throttle Cables are available in either stainless steel braided housing, black
stainless steel braided housing or black housing. They are designed with a specially extruded
liner for extended life of the cable – not to be confused with ordinary braided brake hose.
Cables are equipped with aluminum fittings and aluminum ferrules to eliminate fraying.
“U-Cut-to-Fit” outer housing is available in 24" or 36" lengths with a “U-Cut-to-Fit” stainless inner
wire. Clevis is designed without cotter pins or set screws. Adapts to factory and aftermarket
pedals. Custom lengths available upon request. Cables mount nicely with Lokar’s array
of Brackets and Return Springs (sold separately). Kits complete with installation instructions.

To add more shine to your engine compartment, try Lokar’s "U-Cut-to-Fit"
Polished Kickdown Cables which are available in either stainless steel braided
housing or black housing. Cables are designed with a specially extruded
liner for extended life of the cable – not to be confused with ordinary brake
hose. Kickdown features polished aluminum fittings with polished ferrule to
eliminate frayed cable ends. Kickdowns are adaptable for all types of manifolds
including tunnel ram, blower manifolds and Weber induction systems.
Mount our kickdown with our Stainless Steel Carburetor Bracket and Return

Throttle Cable Bracket and Spring Kits
Stainless bracket mounts to rear of Holley, Edelbrock, AFB, Quadrajet, Demon, and In-Line
Dual Quads. Stainless bracket and GM designed dual stainless springs are used to mount
Lokar’s Throttle Cable and Kickdown kits. Design provides improved clearance on Edelbrock
carbs. Design includes tension screw to prevent bracket from movement under
extreme pressure on a kickdown cable, such as with a 700R4 transmission.

I only needed the throttle cable and purchased the bracket as well. Perfectly lines the cable to the throttle connection on the carb.My trans is reverse manual valve body and kickdown not needed.
Mancini,s will know what you need to make it work.
 
You'll be better off with Buchillon !!

I was looking at their kickdown kit and throttle cables. Guess I need to call them and find out if I will need any extra brackets or do they come in the kit ?

Ordered the Bouchillon kit, should be here this week.

Yea I would like to see pics of it as I hear its very good. But I used a Lokar cable in 2006 and its still working good so I am very happy with it but would like to see this other brand as most seem to like it. Ron
 
Will do . But I seem to be having trouble posting pictures. Cant do it from my phone, and when I try from computer nothing happens when I click the upload photo button ...
 
Hey Mechanic, I see your Proform carb. I am wondering where is the rear metering block?? I have used Proform on several of my vehicles and never seen one without the rear metering block. Just curious? Thanks, Larry
