I bought a speedometer cable from the local O'Reilley's. When I pulled the cable out of my '67 convertible, I discovered the new cable is about 20 inches longer than what I need. I bought a Pioneer brand cable, part number CA3010. Of course, the guys behind the counters can only click keys on a keyboard these days, so they can't help me with figuring out what part I really need.

Has anyone bought a speedometer cable lately that can tell me what part number they used?

 

Typical generic aftermarket crap. You'll find they list that cable for a LOT of applications. I guess they figure you can wrap the excess cable around the carburetor or something.

You need to get a cable from a Mustang supplier that cares about such details, like Glazier Nolan. They can even make a cable custom length if you want.
