I had to lube a few 1980's vintage GM speedometer cables.
The square plastic end on the metal cable that drove the speedometer head never was even with the end of the cable housing end that connected to the back of the speedometer. In fact it was shorter. Though it had to be that way because the cable was held in place by a clip to the speedometer.
My 1935 Buick cable was worked on about 45 years ago and I do not remember much about that.
Now last week I found out that my son's 1946 truck was missing the cable when I disconnected the cable housing from the speedometer. So I ordered a new cable and housing. This vintage cable housing uses a screw cap connector on both ends.
It just so happens that the new housing and cable was delivered today. And the cable extended past both ends of the housing.
