ksquared 13 Report post Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Anybody familiar with how the throttle cable attaches to the gas pedal? My car is 35mi across town so I can't get to it easily (and I sure don't remember this detail). I have a need to replace the original cable with one from Lokar. Does the cable connect to the pedal like it connects to the carb (snap thingy to ball on carb lever)? Also, how long is the original cable? I'm building a 428 with 4 Webers so that's why the need.

Mike65 476 Report post Posted February 22, 2013 Since the dashboard is out of my car still I figured it would be easy for me to check for you. I looked at the end of the pedal bracket where the cable attaches & it is concave with a vertical slot in it On the end of the cable that attaches to the pedal linkage there is a cilidracal piece of metal that goes through the hole in the linkage & locks into the concave part. (see attached pics). Hope that helps. Mike. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindenBruce 27 Report post Posted February 22, 2013 It's a cable with a cylindrical "T" bar on the end where it attaches to the pedal arm inside of the car. You guys get any of that snow yesterday? B Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chillininnh 21 Report post Posted February 22, 2013 I recently swapped out the original throttle cable & bracket for the Lokar stuff. What a huge improvement! The action is so much smoother and I was able to set the height of the pedal very easily. I used part #'s SRK-4000 & TC-1000HT, install is very easy and the stuff is top quality.

ksquared 13 Report post Posted February 22, 2013 Hey chillininnh, would you elaborate on your Global West parts? Is it SFC? I can't find it on their website. I really like your car. It's very close to what I'm trying to get to except mine is pewter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chillininnh 21 Report post Posted February 22, 2013 I used Global West subframe connectors, 1 1/4" lowering 5 leafs along with their solid Del-A-Lum leaf bushings. If I had it to do over again I would go with the Tin Man Fabrication connectors, they look like a factory piece might. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had the same problem with my original setup before switching to the Lokar. I used a small zip tie to keep the barrel on the end of the cable in position, worked fine.
