Speedo help

I agree, the length is definitely no longer than necessary. I got mine by lining it up as best I could and finally pressing it in place with a pry bar. My cable was new and I knew the clip was intact. It just wouldn't go on. It took a lot of sweat and swearing, but I finally got it. Then my speedo crapped out for the third time and I just said screw it! I went to a new dash with electronic gauges and senders. The gas gauge is set for the proper resistance for a Mopar OE fuel sender.
