the end changed and the gear for the speedo is different for the 66 and up.
someone repops the gears now, forget who.
I had a new cable made here.

but they are local to me and I was able to take the old one to them.
but they had the parts in some drawers right there and made it for me in like 20 min.

Odd, when the speedo cable in my 51 Plymouth needed replacement I used a cable spec'd for my 65 Cuda, got it from Rock Auto, dug thru my receipts and the PN is ATP Y803

Other than being a bit long it works fine.

The ATP Y803 cable has threaded nuts at both ends, the '65 904 needs a cable with one unthreaded end.

You are right, I forgot about that setup. Wonder why RA has the wrong cable listed, oh wait never mind.

Back in the 80's when my64 399 needed a new cable I had a speedo shop make me one, I forget who but I got them out of Hemmings. Who knows if they are even in business anymore.
