| Post subject: | ProLinefuel setup with Lokar |
I have a Proline fuels setup on my car and have had it for a year or so. I am upgrading the throttle pedal , cable, and kickdown linkage to Lokar products. I wanted to know if anybody out there has this done or has looked into it. Seems like all the built slant sixes out there have the clifford intake and 4 barrel carb setup and I have seen that work with the Lokar setup, but I have not heard of a sole that has the Proline fuel set up and Lokar cables. I still to this day have not yet seen another slant that has the Proline fuel setup. Can any body help? I like the Proline fuels setup because it is different but don't know if the upgarde will work with out some crappy looking bracket that I have to make like I had to do with the current kickdown system. Thanks for the help Another question I have is if anybody has been to Prolinefuels.com or not I cannot find it anymore and don't even know if he is still in buisness? |

I can't help you with your throttle cable, but I can tell you that Proline fuels is no longer in business. IIRC the website had an announcement a year or so ago about family issues forcing the owner to abandon the business effort. -Mac |

Thank you for the update on ProLineFuels, thats what I was guessing might have happened. They were having family problems when I bought the setup from him a while back. |

Chris also had problems with Weber. I was going to try a prototype setup for him and he could not get carbs from Weber anymore.

Dan If you look real close, the Throttle cable (gas pedal) hooks into the Bottom of the Front carb. - Pulls the Throttle blades open fron the bottom (underneath) the butterflies of the carb. Then the kick down hooks to the same position on the Second (rear) carb - At least that's how it looks to me. Greg |

Do you have any side shots of the setup. Looks good the first I have seen installed like mine. I can see the throttle cable and that is where mine is now and I use the stock bar style kickdown. Is that what you are doing with this also or do you have a cable style kickdown attached to the rear carb? Thanks for the help and I would love it if you could get another shot of the side so I can see where you attachment points are to the carbs! Mine is not pretty but after this weekend I will have a new throttle pedal, new throttle cable and bracket, and cable kickdown![/img] |

I use the rod (mechaincal) linkage for the kickdown. I had to make a new rod but the rest of the KD linkage is factory stuff. As already noted, the cable connects to the front carb, the KD linkage works off the rear carb. DD
