Google ''ec-8001u installed in a camaro''. Sorry I don't know how to post links. Theres a post on Camaro.net with pictures and part #. I think it was a 67 or 68 Camaro.

Thank you.

To post links from a computer, simply highlight the address in the bar across the top of the screen, right click and copy or press ctrl and c at the same, and then come here and right click and paste or press crtl and v at the same time. The website posts it as a hyperlink like the one in my signature automatically.

This is the thread I found. Is this the one you were referring too? http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?p=1245566

We generally use the EC-80FUTB cables and EC-80CC clevises, however that's just because they have a longer threaded housing end which works better with our parking brake cable anchor brackets. I'm sure some of the other Lokar kits can be made to work as well with minimal mods.

As for the front splitter block, it's tapped 5/16-18 IIRC, so most just drill it out so that the fine threaded stud can run through the block with jam nuts on either side for adjustment.

Thank you guys. I think I'll try to get my hands on the 4th gen cables first and see what I can do with them. They aren't expensive. If not, I'll go after the Lokar setup since it's proven.

Well, 4th gen rears won't work for the way I want/need to route the cables. They are simply too short. So I'll go with the Lokar stuff.

Thanks guys
