C4 Lokar Kickdown Install

[simmsjeremy]

I am installing a Lokar kickdown cable on my C4. The question is the additional mounting hardware that doesn't come with kit. The piece needed to attach to the carb. Most reviews and videos that I have seen have individuals doing the install on either a 4 barrel or EFI. I am still running the stock motorcraft 2100 2 barrel. Is the hardware going to be the same for my application? This is what I am tracking that is required for complete installation.

-Received this info from James Duffs site
Of note I also found these on amazon. I like these because they are black and go with my desired look. the pictures are identical with the exception of the color of course. If the SRK 4000 is in fact what I need will one of these work as well?

I have the throttle cable and kickdown..that wS the only thing i needed. Maybe the throttle linkage has the needed parts to make the connection for the kickdown

Can you post any pictures of your setup? I'm still waiting to here back from Lokars tech department. Id like to see how yours is setup to see if I can mirror it. Thanks.

Thanks for the photos. Engine bay looks really nice. My problem that I am having is that the motorcraft 2100 throttle and kickdown linkage are completely different than the other after market carbs such as yours. I don't think the SRK-4000 is compatible with the motorcraft and I haven't been able to find anything that would allow for such an application and of note I'm not much of a fabricator either. I think if there is no luck with the necessary application that I will just run without a kickdown. I read that its not necessary to have as long as you remember to shift down when passing or climbing grades. Unless there someone knows of a way to use the stock kick down lever with a 2" body lift. That's what prompted me to get the cable because my lever doesn't reach now.

Do you have photos of KickDown at the transmission? I have a C4, also does KickDown cable work with old style throttle linkage? Looks like you have a throttle cable… I bought the part noticing my KickDown was missing, but not sure how it all attaches… can’t find any solid videos or photos either or 2 barrel to C4 auto with Lokar KickDown cable… I bought cable and brackets from TBP. Also have stock KickDown lever if I need it that goes near transmission.

Although an old thread, I run the Lokar kickdown with the OEM throttle linkage with a Holley 4bbl. Wish I had done it sooner - you can dial exactly when you want the kickdown to happen according to your taste. Here is the shot at the top (with bracket & springs). I can get the down side in a day or so.

Would love an underside photo as well!

Got it, so it almost comes in behind/reverse of the shift bracket… correct?

In from behind, then mounted; cable rests on top the tranny going up to the manifold.
All that was approx 30k miles ago.

Can anyone tell me what this bracket is on my shift linkage? There’s the C4 bracket to steering column, but this empty u shaped bracket point down with a bolt hole, is that for the stock KickDown bracket?

Also how much slack should there be in steel cable, mine seems quite long, assuming you cut to size?
