Hi guys & gals. This is a fantastic idea of a site. Here's my problem; I put a T350 in my 64 where the 3 on a tree was. My speedometer cable is too short to reach the T350. Any ideas or past experiences with this problem? Thanks ahead of time for any replies. Ray

Either find another cable from a truck w/a automatic OR if you can find an older(late 60's-early 80's) GM car/truck w/a 2 piece cable just add the short one to yours...Joe

When I replace the SM420 with the A833 I needed a longer cable. I measured the old speedo cable with some string. Then went to the FLAPS and bought a longer cable.

Hello Ray, when I put a TH700R-4 in my 1966, I found a correct lenght speedo cable at AutoZone. It was manufactured by a company called Pioneer, and was available in various lengths. You may have to do a little digging, but you should be able to find the length you need, and it wasn't very expensive.

You can get a cable from an early 80's model chevy and it should plug right in.
