Bouncy needle on speedometer

Is that the one that says it is 87 in long? I ask because Autozone and Oreillys have several cables, one is 80 in the other is 83 inches. Anyone know how long the cable should be? I dont want it too long.
And Rock Auto is showing an 80in and an 83in. Napa is the only one showing 87in

I have to put a kink in the plans here and tell you that a new cable HAS to go in a certain way.
If you put the wrong end in the wrong place the cable tries to unwind when driven and causes way worse problems.
You want the cable to try to wind tighter when in use, instead of trying unwind.
