I have a 1965 Barracuda drivetrain in my 1955 Dodge pickup including the 273 and 904 trans. The speedo cable was leaking through the cable. After removing it from the trans I replaced the o-ring with 1 from my shelf but was unable to find the small seal that prevents fluid from entering the cable. I got 1 for 1966 and up trans but it is too large. Then I went to bearing shop with no luck. On a whim I went to plumbing parts shop and came away with a perfect match. It is Master Plumber part #RP4993 for a Delta faucet. I installed this seal on a new speedometer cable I found in my parts warehouse and no more leaks. Try it.
On another note I needed a shifter cable for the console shifter but could not find it anywhere. I called around to some buddies and found 1 for 1961 chrysler. It is identical except for the installation eye ring at the shifter. It needs to be made slightly larger to go over the peg on the shifter.
I hope this helps.
