West Peterson Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I just installed a new one on my car, but I'm not sure what you're looking at. Can you post a picture of each end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest car crank Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 West, The cable has a machined end with a square end about 3/4" long with a small shoulder washer at the end of the square the other end is just a plane square Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Since I replaced my cable AND the housing, it doesn't sound familiar. I think the washer end will be the speedo end, but I don't know for sure, and will bow out of this discussion.Does it not look the same as the cable you removed?

Guest Earl Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 The washer does go on the speedometer end. I just went through that with my '41 Buick. I think It keeps the cable from dropping down too far into the transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
