I have a 1969 Mach 1 with a 351W.

1. Do I need a 24 or 36 inch throttle cable?

2. Do I need any other parts to make the kickdown cable mount to my Holley 4150 series carb?

3. is the Lokar throttle bracket the best one out there or should I consider something else? I want a throttle bracket that can accomodate the kickdown cable and I don't see any that do this other than the Lokar.

i got your pm
my set-up is a 24" cable, but it still needed like 6" cut from it to make it fit. the kick-down on mine is for an aod, actually a TV cable. it will just connect to the ball socket on your holley. the lokar bracket is nice, it;s stainless, which is nice too.

if you've seen mine its a little different then some, its actually not a throttle cable, it's their blower drive, exactualy the same except for the heim joint on the end instead of the ball socket. this was because i wanted something slightly different and the throttle plate was different on my demon then a holley.




sorry for the bad spelling/grammer, holding a squirgmy baby right now......

also on the pedal end you'll need to slightly modify the end, it only took 5 minutes. i just straightened the end ans slightly filed it to get the clevis to go on the pedal. i can get a pic if you need.
