shifter Knob Adapter<br />
am i limited to using a push button in a Lokar Shifter?<br />
No . Now you can use most any aftermarket shifter knob with our Lokar Shift Knob Adapter . The Adapter is designed with the common 3/8-16 or 3/8-24<br />
threads found in most aftermarket shifter knobs . The shifter continues to function correctly, but instead of pushing the button in the center of the knob,<br />
you will push the entire knob down . See page 9 .<br />
speedometer cables<br />
what gauges <strong>and</strong> transmissions do your speedo cables fit?<br />
All 5/8 x 18 male thread gauges <strong>and</strong> early Ford gauges with 3/4 x 20 female threads . We manufacture speedo cables for GM, Ford <strong>and</strong> Chrysler transmissions<br />
. All speedo cables are “U-Cut-to-Fit” .<br />
throttle cables<br />
how long are your throttle cables?<br />
Lokar manufactures <strong>and</strong> stocks Throttle Cables in 24" <strong>and</strong> 36" lengths . Special lengths are available upon request in 12" increments .<br />
All Throttle Cables are “U-Cut-to-Fit” .<br />
Can i use your cables with a stock throttle pedal?<br />
Yes . For some applications, you can simply remove the clevis from the inner wire in the kit <strong>and</strong> mount to the throttle pedal using the ball on the end of the<br />
inner wire .<br />
is there a difference between carbureted or tuned-port cables?<br />
Yes . Chevy Tuned-Port, LT1 <strong>and</strong> LT4 use our Tuned-Port Cable, (1992-1993 LT1 requires Lokar’s LT1 Bracket . Purchase Lokar’s LT4 Bracket for 1994 & later<br />
LT1s <strong>and</strong> all LT4s)<br />
how do i know when i need to use a Blower drive throttle Cable or a Carbureted throttle Cable when i have a blower set up?<br />
If mounting your carburetor sideways <strong>and</strong> using Enderle linkage, which is used by all blower companies, you need to use the Lokar Blower Throttle Cable<br />
(TC-1000BLD) . If the carburetor sits front to back (one in front of the other) you will use the Lokar Carbureted Throttle Cable (TC-1000HT or TC-1000U) .<br />
transmission Dipsticks<br />
what is the difference between a firewall mount <strong>and</strong> a transmount dipstick?<br />
The Firewall Mount dipstick is approximately 24" in length <strong>and</strong> allows you to mount it on the firewall or anywhere you would like in the<br />
engine compartment . The Transmount Dipstick varies in length according to the transmission application <strong>and</strong> mounts on the bell<br />
housing . The Firewall Mount is the most versatile <strong>and</strong> is used where there is little room in the engine compartment .<br />
what do i use to seal my dipstick when i install it?<br />
Dipstick is designed with double o-rings to seal, but we also recommend using a small amount of automotive silicone above the top o-ring grove<br />
before installing .<br />
what is the little plastic tube in the trans dipstick kit?<br />
This is a Funnel Adapter to help fill your transmission . Simply insert the aluminum piece into the Trans Dipstick opening .<br />
Push your regular automotive funnel into the top of the plastic tube <strong>and</strong> fill .<br />
if i change my transmission to another type, can i use my same Lokar transmission dipstick?<br />
No . Each Transmission Dipstick is gauged for a specific type of transmission . The length of the flexible inner dipstick measuring cable will differ from transmission<br />
type to transmission type . We suggest purchasing the correct new dipstick for your transmission .<br />
i have a C-4 transmission that has a pan mounted fill tube. which dipstick would be the best for this application?<br />
The C-4 pan mounted fill tube is a screw-in style dipstick . We offer both a Firewall Mount <strong>and</strong> Transmission Mount Dipsticks for these transmissions . See<br />
pages 55-56 .<br />
Racing Products<br />
i have an older non hp 4500 holley dominator carburetor. will the push/pull throttle Cable Mounting Bracket <strong>and</strong> Spring return kit work on it?<br />
No, the Push/Pull Throttle Cable Mounting Bracket <strong>and</strong> Spring Return Kits are designed to be used with later 4500 HP Dominator carburetors .<br />
