I have a 1974 Duster , 318 with a a904 Trans. I was told about a product that does away with the Hard Linkage and is replaced with a Cable. Does anyone have any info on this ????? I know that Lokar make this for Chevy and Ford but have not found anything on a Mopar......

Thanks in Advance

 

Lokar makes one, I have it on my '36 Dodge 360/904. Can't remember the part number off the top of my head.

 

There is no advantage to the cable except to dress up the engine compartment Or sometimes in an engine swap with limited space

 

I dug through the recipts on my car and found the one for the kickdown. The part number is KD-2727HT. Goes in easy and works as good as the factory linkage.

 

Moparod can u call me at
9014895369

 

I called Summit Racing with the # provided and they told me this was a Kick Down Cable..... Hope my question was not miss leading ......

 

Moparod ......I would still like you to call ......

 

Duster, saw your 901 and just noticed you're in Hernando! I'll try not to forget to call you sometime Sunday.

Pro, Jegs Summit or just about speed or rod shop should have it or be able to get it. I got mine from Sachse Rod Shop in Texas.

 

Duster -

If the engine/engine bay is stock or restored, you might be better off with the stock linkage. With aftermarket manifolds and carbs, the Lokar or other aftermarket "linkages" can make things easier.

The Lokar piece can be used as both a throttle linkage and for the kickdown linkage. Yes, you'll need two of them.

The cables you are looking for are part number LOK-KD2904HT60 at Summit for $83.95 and 625-KD2904HT at Jegs for $75.95 the other number Moparod sent you was for a 727 trans. not a 904. I dont know if there is a differance or not but my guess is there is or they would group them together.

 

The number I listed is what is on my 904 right now.

 

It cannot be used as a throttle cable, unless they changed it since I bought mine it does not come with the correct fittings to hook to the throttle or accelerator pedal.

 

I had both on my 67 carb and trans kickdown FIT and worked just fine. There is another one available from Boulcher ??? performance more of a stock type used on the later cars, a little cheaper too..

 

Moparod.....Dont forget to call.......

 

Moparod, you know how things are done they put the same part in different packages because people cant think outside the box. It has always been that the 904 is just a lighter duty transmission than the 727. Why Summit & Jegs list the cables seperate is beyond me. But I didnt mean you any disrespect I was just mentioning the way it was listed.

 

Moparod, If you could send me a # , I will be glad to call you...... It sounds like you have done what I need to do..... tommy@southernmotorcycleradios.com

 

I replaced the linkage on my sons 67 dart with the cable it was real easy to install & adjust great improvement !

 

67HEMIDART ....would it be possible for you to call me and let me know what was purchased and how you did it. It you would like me to call you leave #..... Mine 9014895369

 

Duster, hope I was able to help, sorry it took me so long to call.
Pro, no prob. They probably had so many calls from people wondering why they have it for a 727 but not a 904 that they just made up a different part number, even tho it's the same identical part. I know quite a few people who drag race with a 904 instead of the 727 because the 904 is both lighter and has a lower first gear ratio, making for better 60' times.

I agree 67, mine was one of the easiest things I've ever done to a car. Took less than 2 hours even in my tight cramped car, and it works beautifully.

 

Ok guys he is looking for a gear selector cable for a columb shift I don't know if there is one but you guys may ???
