I have a 1974 904 in the 68 Barracuda.
On a few short drives the speedometer needle was jumpy so I decided to change out the OE speedometer cable.
RockAuto has a Pioneer CA-3027 that is said to fit a 68 Barracuda for a little over $10.00 + shipping.
When I got it, found the transmission connection nut was too small.
I ordered and received an OER 3592360 from Summit and it fits.
That cable was $45.00
When I went to return the RockAuto part, working their online return system, I could return the part and get the money spent on the part back, but I have to pay $6.00 and change return shipping. That does not seem right, that a part can be listed to fit and it does not and the buyer looses money over it,,
It’s not about the $6.00, it’s about getting parts listings right.
But before I do that,, does anyone know is there a 68 Barracuda or other similar application that would take a small transmission screw on connection? Before I push this with RockAuto I would like some assurance that their listing is indeed wrong, as it appears to be.
Both the Pioneer and the OER speedometer cable have the correct clip on speedometer connection. The RockAuto cable is about 14 inches longer than either the OE 68 cable or the Summit OER cable, so that indicates that the listed RockAuto application may be wrong.
in the photo below:
The Summit OER-3592360 is on the left, 1.0 inches across the flats
The OE 68 Barracuda is in the middle, 1.0 inches across the flats
The RockAuto Pioneer Ca-3027 is on the left, 3/4 inch OD diameter
