General Installation Notes:

Please read instructions completely before beginning installation. If you

have any questions please call.

Before starting installation, scotch vehicle tires to avoid accidental move-

ment of the vehicle. Do not attempt to install this product while the engine

is running. Disconnect negative battery cable before beginning installation.

Make sure the engine, transmission, body and frame are properly grounded.

We recommend applying anti-seize lubricant to all aluminum threads before

final assembly.

IMPORTANT APPLICATION INFORMATION: This throttle pedal is designed to replace

rod style throttle linkage only. It will not fit a vehicle that originally came with

cable style throttle linkage from the factory.
The Lokar pedal assembly is designed for use with Lokar Throttle Cables. Stock

style cables will not work. If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, instal-

lation of a Lokar Kickdown Kit (if applicable) is strongly recommended. Lokar

throttle cables and kickdown kits are application-specific according to the type

of induction system and the transmission model.
1955-1957 Chevrolet with big block OR small block with tall valve covers: Lokar

has throttle pedals available with a longer billet upper arm (6-7/16" overall

length) to prevent interference between the engine and the throttle cable.
Refer to Fig. 1 for the component names.
Step 1: Remove any existing throttle pedal assembly and linkage components.
Step 2: Disassemble the Lokar Throttle Pedal Assembly by removing the

1/4"-20 x 1/2" flat head bolt

(Fig. 2, #1) from the end of the mounting

shaft

(Fig. 2, #14) and sliding the billet lower and upper arms off of the

mounting shaft.

Step 3: Install the mounting shaft into the firewall from the engine compartment

side using the stock hole where the original throttle linkage was mounted.

Use the original bolts to attach it to the firewall.

Step 4: Reassemble the Lokar throttle pedal with the billet lower arm (Fig. 2, #6)

pointing down and the billet upper arm

(Fig. 2, #5) pointing up. The billet

upper and lower arms can be switched left to right if needed for clearance

purposes.

Step 5: Push the billet upper arm forward so that it is parallel to the firewall.

Mark the firewall in line with the 3/16" hole on the end of the billet

upper arm. Drill a 5/16" diameter hole through the firewall for the Lokar

throttle cable fitting to mount into.

Note: On 1955-57 Chevys, the two

offset firewall washers

(Fig. 2, #15) will have to be installed on the

firewall (one inside and one outside) and rotated to allow the throttle

cable to go straight through the firewall.

Throttle Pedal Assembly Installation Instructions

Step 6: Install the Lokar throttle cable assembly according to

instructions supplied with the throttle cable. You may have

to reposition the billet upper arm on the throttle pedal

assembly in order to get the throttle cable adjusted correctly.

Make sure there is no binding in the throttle linkage and

that the throttle returns to the closed position when the

pedal is released.

See

Fig. 4, 5 and 6 for a finished installation.

NOTE: Once the throttle cable is installed, make sure that the

throttle pedal is completely floored when the throttle is wide

open. If the throttle pedal is not completely floored at wide

open throttle, you will need to either change the position of

the billet lower arm on the throttle pedal assembly or install

a pedal stop.
