My Speedometer needle was bouncing above 50mph. Ordered the "concourse correct" cable which I believe is about 61 inches long. The retaining clip on the end didn't fit through the hole in the firewall a s it's slightly larger than what I have on the original cable. If needed I can enlarge but wanted to try and rehab the old one first.
I pulled the cable from the sheath on the old unit and cleaned everything then lubed. Looked good and reinstalled. While the ol one as out I straighnted as best I could and it appears to be about 73 inches long. It also has a metal band on the sheath a few feet from the tranny that fits perfectly into a clip under the car. So it seems correct.
So I did not bother trying the new cable which seems to have to be bent rather then curved to get through the firewall as it's about a foot shorter than what I have now plus I would have to enlarge the hole and wanted to wait first.
.
So my cleaning etc didn't work and I still have the bounce which may very well be the Speedo itself. There's a question here somewhere....does anyone know if the 73 cable is indeed longer than the one generally sold as correct for these cars and where I can get one? Thanks.
