Will a speedo cable from a later B body 66-68 fit a 64 speedo head unit. Since I'm converting my car to more street than strip I was thinking of a working speedometer. My factory speedo cable used a one piece adapter that is part of the cable. Any one else use a later B cable in an early B body Gus

Are you going to a later trans? If so there is a cable made for a Camero that works perfectly, I'll have to look throught my notebooks for the listing and will get back to you. Also a 66 cable works too.

Any one else use a later B cable in an early B body Just A bodies here but the problem I ran into with a 64 A speedo and a later trans was that there was a one year only cable that matched both ends (66 or 67?). not sure if that helps or not. I might still have it if needed

Thanks a lot guys this gives me all the info I need to get my speedo working. I have been using late model transmissions since I pulled the slant and three speed out. I never used a speedo with the Richmond 5-speed because it used a GM style adapter. Now I have a street Hemi box in the car and it would be nice to know how fast I'm going Thanks again guys Gus

Plus, I think any number of the suggestions here using off-the-shelf parts store stuff could work. It depends on what transmission you have.

Check Control Cables, Inc. in Santa Fe Springs, CA. http://www.controlcables.com/Chances are very high that whoever is selling cables is getting them made at this place and $$$ marking them up. Send them either dimensions, two cable housings each with the correct end fittings you want to use, overall length measurement, etc. They are VERY helpful over the phone or internet and they catalog your application if you or a buddy ever needed another one. I've had them make stock looking throttle cables and E-brake cables for early B-body using Wilwood disc rear. I've been extremely satisfied with their work. Short turn around times but always good to have your 'end in view' and work the long-lead time parts of your project first. And, Redline Gage Works in Santa Clarita, CA are simply awesome at what they do. And, no. I don't work for Control Cables, Inc.
Wow. You say you have a Sports Fury? Talk about rare.

There are more than enough speedo gears for the 66 and up trans to choose from to get the speedometer right.
