What 1930...they came with oval speedometer early, round later? Different answers...

 

OK. This was not my post, and i know it is about 10 years old, but i did a search and this came up. So maybe I can get the answer I need and close the loop on this thread.

I have a ford 1931, round speedometer. Going in a 3 speed, 1936 toploader transmission. Closed drive, original model A rear end. I have neither the model a, or the toploader speedometer cable to use.

Which cable will work for this set up?

Thanks

 

You can probably get one from a Model A restoration parts shop.

Or get a custom one from @e1956v .

 

So, A 1931 model a speedo cable is what i need?

And that will fit in the toploader?

 

If I remember correctly, there are two different drives on the speedo head. one is keyed, one is square. The other end on the torque tube is all the same 28 to 48, so look at model A vendors online to confirm what I just said, and order the one that fits your speedo

 

Yes, thanks. I have the square drive. Now i know what i need to get. thanks
