    My exhaust burned through my speedometer cable. I was wondering if there are cables from a newer modle that will work of if I have to find one off a parts Comet/Maverick? Thanks, Phil

    I used a fox body mustang cable but I have an AOD so the trans end may not work in your app.

    Thanks Joe Dirt...
    I am more worried about the end that screws into the back plate on the spedometer than the part that hooks to tranny. The tranny that we have in there is a 4 speed out of an 82 pick up.
