Need throttle cable

[Vaughn]

I'm building a RCR GT 40 and I'm running a Holly Ultra dominator four barrel. I know that some of you guys have used Lokar for this application. Could you send me a part number or any information that might help.

Thanks much Vaughn

I bought one off ebay but it was 12' long. I think you can get by with a 10'. Check your route and give yourself a little extra. They are easy to cut off. Be sure to have long sweeping bends to avoid binding.
Find the part number on Summit and then check ebay to see if anyone has it cheaper.
Summit sell a lot of stuff on ebay.

Dwight-- Thanks for the come back. I pulled up that link from Summit and I believe that will work. My main concern is getting the proper length. Like you suggested I don't want to have a lot of tight corners to cause problems.I never thought I'd get there but, I'm right at the point where I can light the candle on this thing so I want to get it right. Thanks for your help.

Vaughn,

I have a morse cable I didn't use for my GT40 that I will make you a great deal on. I found the lokar to have to much play in when I hit the gas. It would sort of "snake" up when tension was applied to the inner cable. Do a little research on the morse cables and let me know if you want to try mine. I'll never use it and I will give you a great deal!

Pegasus Racing will make you a ,Teflon lined ,cable any lenght you want . They are very reasonable and you will have it in 2-3 days!

Dean & Ron--Dean I sent you an e-mail regarding the Morris cable. Thanks for your help. Ron some time ago and I can't remember when I called you about a throttle cable thinking that I would blow through this build but due to health problems and other issues my timing was a little off. At that time you suggested using a Fiero throttle cable. I did that but since then better applications have come along so I put that on the back burner.I did look up Pegasus racing and check out their throttle cables. Thanks for the tip. By the way I still refer back to your build thread. You did a great job on that car hated to see you sell it.
I thought maybe you might be thinking about doing the Dean thing with the SLC. I'm actually tossing that idea around in my mind. But first I have to get this 40 On the road.
Thanks again for the suggestion.

I used a Lokar. Workers just fine. Of course make sure is properly secured at both ends as described in my book. Order information should be in the book / build blog as well. Same cable worked for both the Webers and the Holley. Let me know if you need any additional info.

Chuck-- Thanks for the info. I did refer to your build manual and ordered a 9 foot cable yesterday from Lokar. Your build manual has been a big help concerning different details of this build. Were hoping to have a start up by the end of next week. I'm really looking forward to that.
Thanks again
