Hot Rods Moon Speedometer Cable?

Need a parts number for a speedometer drive cable for a 5/8"x 18" thread. It's going to a Saginaw 4 speed transmission. Any help is appreciated.

 

get a speedo cable for a GM car or truck up to the mid 60s, it should fit.

There are different lengths, you didn't specify, so it's hard to give you the correct part number.

 

Lokar makes a cable that comes with the pieces necessary to shorten it to length. Lookie heah!!!

yup, but from a style perspective, Lokar stuff and Moon stuff are mutually exclusive, aren't they?

 

I'd say somewhere in the 60 inch range. The transmission is a 74 Vega 4 speed.

 

CA3002 pioneer is 63" long

Any good speedo shop should be able to make one to order. Not that many around but there are still some, maybe try a big truck repair shop. I had one made by a local shop to mate the Watson 3 speed auxiliary trans in a '40 Ford big truck I had to a Stewart Warner Speedo no problem.

or just drive down to your local parts store and buy one...it's not a special part, by any means.

 

The local parts store wants an OEM application. The speedometer is not OEM. 5/8"x18" thread and a .104 square drive doesn't mean anything to them.

 

This cable doesn't have the 5/8" by 18"thread.

 

Like I said...pick a mid 60s or older GM car. LIke a 1964 Belair, 283 engine, 3 speed transmission.

 

Are you sure it doesn't have the correct thread? The last one I bought, did...

 

that cable that Squirrel gave the part # of CA3002 will work just fine with that speedometer.. go down to an O'Reilly and get one

why make it harder than it needs to be?

or..... i have an extra one here , if you want to stop by you can have it
