Lokar Blower Drive Throttle Cable - Manual

Building American Quality… With A Lifetime Warranty!
General Installation Notes:
Please read instructions completely before beginning installation.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Do not attempt to install or adjust Throttle Cable while engine is
running. Be sure 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: Lokar’s Blower Drive Throttle Cable is designed to operate with BDS,
Enderle and Weiand style linkage for sideways mounted carburetors.
The Lokar Blower Drive Throttle Cable is designed to be installed with
a Lokar Throttle Pedal.
Step 1: Install and adjust all blower drive linkage components before
beginning to install the Lokar Blower Drive Throttle Cable.
Step 2: The hole in the firewall must line up with the hole in the
throttle pedal. Determine exactly where the blower drive throt-
tle cable needs to go and drill a 5/16" hole in the firewall.
Step 3: Remove the cable wire adjuster and throttle cable adjuster
from the engine end of the new Lokar blower drive throttle
cable. Pull the inner wire out of the cable housing. Fig. 1
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: Install the Lokar blower cable bracket to the blower base
bracket using the supplied #10-24 x 1/2” socket head cap
screws and lock washers. The vertical part of the blower cable
bracket must be towards the front of the vehicle, with the hor-
izontal part on the bottom pointing towards the firewall. Fig. 3
Step 6: Remove the front adjuster nut from the throttle cable adjuster, and
insert the throttle cable adjuster into the blower cable bracket.
Position the rear adjuster nut so that the blower cable bracket is
approximately centered on the threaded part of the throttle cable
adjuster. ( NOTE: If a Lokar Kickdown Cable is also being installed,
you will need to install the Kickdown Mounting Bracket onto the
throttle cable adjuster at this time.) Reinstall the front adjuster
nut. Fig. 3
Step 7: Make sure that the inner wire is removed from the cable housing.
If the cable housing is braided stainless steel, slide the ferrule
( Fig. 1) up the housing towards the firewall, away from the end
that is being cut. DO NOT remove the ferrule from a braided stain-
less steel housing! If the cable housing is black universal, remove
the ferrule.
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.
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. If the blower drive throttle cable has a
braided stainless steel housing, wrap tape around the area to be
cut and use an abrasive cutoff saw or fine-toothed hacksaw. If
the blower drive throttle cable has a 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.
