By chance, if anyone knows of this place, please by all means, refresh my "failing" memory. BTW, it's for a '68 440 & 727 (custom installation). Thanks in advance, Alley

If you're installing an aftermarket speedo in your '68 and don't need a custom length just get a cable for a '66-'67; it'll have the thread nut on the speedo end.

If you're installing an aftermarket speedo in your '68 and don't need a custom length just get a cable for a '66-'67; it'll have the thread nut on the speedo end. I've already checked on a speedo shop in the area...nada, zip, none. When I had my 64 Fury with 440 some 10 yrs ago, I recall having gotten a custom made cable/core assy from a place in Montana, but have long since lost my contact info. This present installation is a '68 440/727 going into a 57 Plym and the speedo cable needs to be about a foot longer, in order to go around the headers without kinking the housing. Thanks again though for the response Alley
