Lokar Throttle Cable for Blower Drive Systems

The Lokar Throttle Cable for Blower Drive Systems is a high-performance cable assembly engineered specifically for supercharged V8 engines running roots-style blowers (6-71, 8-71, 14-71, etc.) or top-mounted supercharger intake plenums. Featuring Lokar’s signature "U-Cut-to-Fit" outer housing and inner cable, it gives builders an exact, tailored length without extra cable loops or binding over high-rise blower linkages.

Blower Application & Compatibility

• Supercharger Fitment: Engineered for roots-style superchargers (6-71, 8-71, 10-71, 14-71) and blower drive setups utilizing dual-quad or single carburetors on top-mounted linkage plates.

• Linkage Adaptability: Connects cleanly to popular blower linkage kits (Enders, BDS, Linkage Specialties, Holley, Edelbrock) mounted above supercharger cases.

• Custom Hot Rods & Street Machined Builds: Ideal for high-rise blown street rods, pro-street builds, dragsters, and blown muscle cars where standard throttle cables are too short or bind at high angles.

Product Overview & Performance

Supercharged engines present unique routing challenges due to the added height of the blower case and carb carburetors/injection hats. Standard throttle cables often bind or kink when pulled upward at extreme angles.

Lokar solves this by enclosing a high-tensile stainless steel inner cable inside an extruded PTFE (Teflon) liner. This ultra-low-friction internal sleeve prevents binding through sharp bends, resists high engine-bay heat, and delivers crisp, responsive throttle return. Precision aluminum ferrules clamp tightly over the trimmed inner wire ends to prevent fraying during setup or tuning.

Housing & Finish Configurations

Lokar offers three distinct outer housing options paired with color-matched hardware to complement your supercharged engine bay:

• Braided Stainless Steel: Features a classic high-shine stainless steel braid with natural brushed or polished aluminum fittings.

• Hi-Tech Black Stainless Steel: Features a sleek black braided stainless steel sheath fitted with black anodized aluminum hardware.

• Universal Black: Features a durable black polyethylene outer housing paired with clean aluminum fittings for a sleek look.

Key Features & Design Highlights

• "U-Cut-To-Fit" Sizing: Outer housing and inner wire trim easily to match custom firewall-to-blower-linkage spacing (available in 24" and 36" lengths).

• Blower-Specific Cable Ends: Connects smoothly to elevated supercharger throttle linkages without binding or slop.

• Friction-Reducing PTFE Liner: High-density PTFE sleeve prevents internal wire drag through tight angles.

• Anti-Fray Aluminum Ferrules: Precision aluminum ferrules lock around cut inner wire strands to prevent unraveling.

• Cotter-Free Clevis Design: Clean clevis attachment eliminates set screws and cotter pins at pedal and engine connections.

• Universal Pedal Adaptability: Hooks up seamlessly to OEM factory gas pedals or Lokar aftermarket billet foot pedal assemblies.

• American-Made Quality: Hand-assembled in the USA and backed by Lokar's Lifetime Warranty.
