Lokar Throttle Cable Carbureted Applications and Ford EFI (1986-1993) - Manual

Step 4: On the pedal end of the cable housing, remove the adjuster nut from
the firewall fitting. Insert the firewall fitting through the firewall from
the engine side, and then reinstall the adjuster nut. Fig. 2
Step 5: Remove the front adjuster nut from the throttle cable adjuster
and insert the throttle cable adjuster into the carburetor bracket.
( NOTE: If a Lokar Kickdown Kit is being used, install the kickdown
mounting bracket onto the back side of the carburetor bracket
first.) Then position the rear adjuster nut so that the threaded
part of the throttle cable adjuster is approximately centered in the
carburetor bracket. Reinstall the front adjuster nut. Fig. 3
Step 6: Make sure that the inner wire is removed from the cable housing. If
the cable housing is braided stainless steel, slide the ferrule up the
housing towards the firewall, away from the end that is being cut.
DO NOT remove the ferrule from a braided stainless steel housing!
If the cable housing is black universal, remove the ferrule.
Measure the distance between the throttle cable adjuster and the
firewall fitting. Add 2" to the measurement and cut the cable
housing to that length.
NOTE: Cable housing must not be straight between the throttle cable
adjuster and the firewall. There must be some slack to allow for
engine movement.
If the throttle cable has the braided stainless steel housing, wrap
tape around the area to be cut and use an abrasive cutoff wheel
or fine-toothed hacksaw. If the throttle cable has the black
universal housing, cut the cable housing with heavy duty 8"
diagonal cutting pliers or a hacksaw. Lokar recommends Klein
brand Diagonal Cutting Pliers, # D2000-28 available at The
Home Depot or through W. W. Graingers, Part # 4A838.
After cutting the cable housing, put the ferrule back in place at the
end of the cable housing. Insert the cable housing and ferrule into
the throttle cable adjuster.

General Installation Notes:
Please read instructions completely before beginning installation. If
you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Before starting installation, use wheel chocks to block the vehicle's
wheels. Disconnect the negative battery cable before beginning
installation. Do not attempt to install or adjust the throttle cable
while the engine is running. Be sure the engine, body and frame are
grounded properly. .
We recommend using an anti-seize lubricant on all aluminum threads
before installation. Do not over tighten while installing cables.
NOTE: The Lokar Throttle Cable is designed to be installed with the Lokar
Carburetor Bracket and Springs (if applicable, part # SRK-4000, not
included) and a Lokar Throttle Pedal. The Lokar Throttle Cable is
designed to be cut-to-fit.
Step 1: Install the Lokar Throttle Pedal, Carburetor Bracket and
Springs first, following the instructions that are provided with
those parts.
Step 2: The hole in the firewall must line up with the hole in the
throttle pedal. Determine exactly where the throttle cable
needs to pass through the firewall and drill a 5/16" hole.
Step 3: Remove the carb end assembly and throttle cable adjuster
from the engine end of the new Lokar throttle cable. Pull the
inner wire out of the cable housing. Fig. 1
