Anyone have a place for a speedo cable that is correct for a 70 A body?
Seems like the part store ones I have found are all about 18" too long
even though they claim to be the right one. I keep finding like 80" cables
but I think our Darts use like a 68" or so, at least that's how long the
old beat up one I removed is.

Any help please?
 
Ok guys, here's the real deal on our speedo cables.
The actual factory spec is between 64 and 68 inches.
EVERY parts store I have gone to want to force us into
the "new" standard of 80 inches, which to me is very
unacceptable. I even had a cable from Orielly's that
was a so called exact replacement that was not only
80 inches long, but also had the wrong size threaded end.

If anyone is looking for a "real" replacement, you can get
one from NAPA that is 68" long and has the correct ends
for under 20 dollars. For some reason it is not listed for
our cars, but it is the real deal. Part number is BK6151659

Cheers.
