Lokar Throttle Pedal Assembly For 1962-1967 Novа - Manual

Building American Quality… With A Lifetime Warranty!
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
movement of the vehicle. Do not attempt to install this product while
the engine is running. Disconnect negative battery cable before begin-
ning 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 a Lokar Throttle Cable.
Stock style cables will not work. If your vehicle has an automatic transmis-
sion, installation of a Lokar Kickdown Kit (if applicable) is strongly recom-
mended. Lokar throttle cables and kickdown kits are application-specific
according to the type of induction system and the transmission model.
Refer to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 for the component names, and Fig. 2 for an assembly
diagram.
Step 1: Remove any existing throttle pedal assembly and linkage components.
Step 2: Drill out the original throttle pedal mounting holes in the firewall using
a 17/64" drill bit.
Step 3: Remove the 1/4"-20 x 1/2" flat head bolt and aluminum end washer
from the end of the mounting shaft and slide the pedal assembly off
of the mounting shaft.
Fig. 3
Step 4: The mounting shaft will be installed onto the firewall on the passenger
compartment side where the original throttle pedal was mounted.
Position the firewall mounting plate on the engine compartment side
of the firewall. Install the provided 1/4"-28 x 5/8" button head bolts
through the firewall mounting plate, then the firewall, through the
flange on the mounting shaft, and secure with the nylock nuts inside
the passenger compartment.

Step 5: Separate the upper and lower arms by removing one of the Delrin®
bushings and sliding one of the arms off of the splined bushing. If your
transmission tunnel does not interfere with the pedal pad, and you are
comfortable with its position, the other arm and pedal pad do not need
to be removed from the splined bushing. If there is interference or if you
would prefer the pedal pad moved to the left, the upper and lower arms
can be switched left to right.
Step 6: Position the upper and lower arms on the splined bushing so that when
the pedal pad is in the at-rest position where you want it, the upper arm is
parallel to the firewall. Slide the pedal assembly onto the mounting shaft.
Reinstall the 1/4"-20 x 1/2" flat head bolt and aluminum end washer onto
the end of the mounting shaft.

Step 7: 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: 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.
Step 8: Install the Lokar throttle cable assembly according to the
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. 8 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.
