Learn how to install a Lokar kickdown cable in a 1974 Roadrunner with either a 904 or 727 Torque Flight transmission. Enjoy! Please like and subscribe 🤩🤩🤩 Thank you for watching!
This is not quite as simple as he is showing. The pressure lever he is attaching the cable to under the car is from center to center of attaching hole aprox, 2 3/4''. The other end of the lokar cable attaches to the carburator arm which is aprox center to center of mounting hole 1 3/4''. The passing gear is a 1 to 1 ratio, meaning when the carb arm or lever moves 1 inch the pressure or passing gear lever has to move 1 inch.( no more, no less ) If this is not done right it will not function as it should. Too little pressure on the pressure lever can damage the transmission over time. I drilled the passing gear or pressure arm to match the carbutator arm lenth t get the 1 to 1 ratio that chrysler requires...
Thank you for that tidbit of information. Simply knowing it is 1:1 is what I have been looking for. I converted to a Holly Sniper EFI and I installed a Lokar cable. I have been looking everywhere for the geometry. Thank you!
The Lokar paperwork shows a starting point but from there depending on your shift points you may want to adjust the cable a little bit at a time until you are happy with the way it shifts into second and third. Hope this helped.
@@taylormademusclecars when it's cold, before it has shifted a few times, it will over rev in first. Once it's warmed up, it will usually shift ok, but sometimes if I floor it while doing say 35, it will downshift as it should, and then upshift at the wrong time
You’ll need to first have everything hooked up as it should be then with the car off opener your throttle by hand 100% make sure your kick down cable is moving freely at the transmission take it for a ride and see if you like the shift point of 2nd & 3rd gear if you (don’t) then start adjusting your new cable at the carb one way or the other till you find a happy shift point
