Default Speedo cable ??

I was looking for a replacemnet speedo cable for my 89 gt and have a few quick questions. Would a cable for a 90 with the same exact set up as my car be a direct replacement? The website has two different cables for vehicles with or without cruise, I unhooked my cruise but should I still get the cable for the car with cruise? And finally I have a saleen gauge in the car and the speedo goes up to 170mph, that would need a special cable right? I know they are some pretty noobish ???s but better safe than sorry.

cable has nothing to do with the calibration of the speedo thats just the speedo itself thats calibrated to go that high. as for the cable get one from a stang that had cruise even though you disconnected it just to make sure you dont have any problems

unless you change to a driven assembley without cruise..you'll still need to purchase the cable for "with cruise" as the cable will snap into the driven assembley
