Lokar Throttle Cable

[laser-red-nova]

I am installing the Lokar universal throttle cable. on my 64. Where did you guys drill the hole in the firewall at? Directly in line with the foot pedal? Pictures if ya got them .

[Wogs64SS]

I'll take some pics of mine and download them for you.:D

Good pictures. By the way lokar is making a foot pedal just for 1st and 2nd gen novas. thats the one I am instalinng. It bolts right up to the original 2 hole in the firewall were the old linkage went. Now I am puting the cable in, thats why the original question.

I also ordered the Nova pedal direct from Lokar about a week ago. Still waiting for it. Please post pics when you get it installed if you can, I would like to see it.

It would be best to try and mount it in a straight line from the pedal thru the firewall because the cable can cut into the teflon liner eventually and bind up.

What's the part number for the pedal? I can't find it on thier web site.

Thanks

I called Locar last week and they told me that they were not selling the 1st-2nd gen. replacement pedal yet, tehy were still working on them. But he did give me the part #'s so I could check back later.
Pedal assy. #BAG6127
Cable & bracket #DP1000HT
I'll be getting one ASAP.

That worrites me. I bought a pedal from them a few years ago (have not installed yet) and they told me it was for 62-67 Novas. Tonight I am going to check it out and see what part# it is. I still have all that stuff in the box.:o

[mrtimstik]

Ordered a LOK-XBAG6127 from Summit 6/6/06 and was told at that time it was "in-stock" at Lokar and would be drop shipped from them on 6/7/06. Have not received anything except an invoice explaining what I just said. Car is apart and waiting for parts. Oh boy.:rolleyes:

I started to install my pedal assembly today . It went fine, Had to drill out the existing holes out just a tad for the bolts to go thru.Hint --tack weld the bolts at the bolt end so you can put it thru the firewall and tighten it on the interior side. Instructions for the carb side of the universal cable from Lokar (LOK-TC-1000HT) were very good. As for the pedal side they were none to be found. Thats why I asked in the previous post how to line up the cable to the firewall. Well the firewall were I drilled is angled. So when I drilled and installed the cable it drags on the inner liner.The kit comes with 2 offset washers but I can not get them to line up.It would have been nice if they would have warned me about the offset in the firewall. I guess I will try to drill the hole out a little bit to see if I can get a staighter shot . The pedal is nice but no instructions. By the way those are the right part#s for the pedal.

[Bucs01]

Hey guys. i will be installing mine soon. Just wondering about the question of the pedal/cable angle. Since on the engine side its best to have hte cable thru the firewall about level with the carb, that would mean we would have to mount the pedal up/higher on the firewall on the interior side. RIght?

[NIGHTSHADE]

Wait until you get the pedal before you drill any holes, since the length of the pedal shafts may be different. I'll post pics of mine later today. (providing that I remember):o

Nightshade- That would be great if you can snap us some pics!

Thanks for sure.

I put a Lokar pedal in my car, but unfortunately at the time there was not a specific one for the Nova. Lokar recommended I use;
Lokar BAG-6096 gas pedal (67-69 Camaro)

My cable exits at about the same place that Wogs64SS does, however I decided to make a coil with mine around the wiper motor and then to the carb. Fortunately I only used the cheap black one so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.

[laser-red-nova]

I don't know how to post. But I got mine in . I called Lokar this morning and they said they are working on better instructions for this new pedal. I had to drill a bigger hole than 5/16.to correct the angle a little. But the secret is those two offset washers they give you in the kit. The washers staighten out the angle.

As promissed.

I made an angled passthru bushing out of aluminum...seems to work fine.

Nightshade- Great pics. THanks!

I have the 67-69 Camaro pedal (bought 2 years ago) that I am going to trial fit in my car and see if I can mount it pretty much like you mounted yours. The main things seems to be to make sure you can mount it "higher" on the firewall so there is no binding of the cable and come out on the engine side just above the valve cover so it angles out pretty straight to the carb.

Good pictures. By the way lokar is making a foot pedal just for 1st and 2nd gen novas. thats the one I am instalinng. It bolts right up to the original 2 hole in the firewall were the old linkage went. Now I am puting the cable in, thats why the original question.


just curious, what makes it a 62-67 Nova pedal. isnt the original hole, pretty big, because half of the pedal is outside and the other half on the inside, and the pedal pivots right @ the hole of the firewall. im just curious, because mines looks exactly like NIGHTSHADE. i dont think the cable on a lokar setup will ever be inline directly w/ the carb linkage.

can u send pics of ur setup when ur done. i may need to change my pedal. i also like the floor mounted one, w/ the cable runnin on the outside of the firewall, seems like it would bind less, because of the bend to make the cable work.....

thats pretty trick MIKE, u prettty much got that sucker straight.. whats it look like on the inside, before it leaves the firewall. u plan on makin anymore...LMK

JOHN

[laser-red-nova]

You will never be in line with the carb on our novas. It is ok to bend it from the firewall to the carb, of course gently as possible. Notice in my pictures how the pedal bracket mounts to the firewall. That is the difference in the new nova pedal compared to the universal ones. I think it is pretty slick.

[Seattle_Mike]

Thanks...it was simple actually. I just used a piece of aluminum thick wall tubing and sliced it at the same angle as the firewall. It looks pretty much the same on the inside.

[Rookie]

Looks nice but what is the advantage? I used to just run the stock one with no pedal.

It looks cool, less chance of binding up, and when you have a pedal your foot wont slip off quite as easily.:D

[mrtimstik]

Here are a couple pics of my set-up. Now have WOT for the first time and it makes powerful noises like I've never heard before.

That cable is really long. Might want to shorten it to prevent binding.

[mrtimstik]

Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into that soon.

[CaddyDaddy]

Here is another possibility for Lokar pedals. My buddy had one like the one you guys are using in his nova and it seemed a little tight and a little sloppy, so when we did ours we tried something else (his may have just been improper setup). Really smooth and little or no slop. Just an idea.

why not stay with the stock setup? and make a cool guy linkage rod?
