C6 Speedometer Cable O-ring

I have a small leak coming from the speedo cable where it goes into the trans.
Anyone know where I can get a replacement o-ring? Is that something available at an auto parts store or is it a Ford dealer thing?

It is a C6 out of a 1970 LTD.

Most decent parts stores have a selection of O rings.

If you happen to need other stuff from us we have them

If not Im sure you can find one just like it at an auto part store like raytasch says, im sure you don't want to pay shipping on just an o-ring

Shipping should be very little, I am only 3 1/2 hours away...

I am hoping someone will have a better idea for getting one locally. Maybe a Ford part number may help.
Or like you said, I'm sure I could find something else on your site to buy.
That's usually pretty easy.

87036-S94 .. Speedometer Cable O-Ring - 11/16" I.D. x 57/64" O.D. / Available from Ford.

This o-ring has been used since the 1950's, so should be EZ to find.

Ford dealer parts locator system only lists 50 dealers. There are so many dealers in CA/OR/WA that have this o-ring, that there are no AZ listings.

I found these two AZ dealers on PartsVoice.com

EARNHARDT FORD in Chandler AZ has 1 = 480-893-0000.

CAMELBACK FORD-LINCOLN in Phoenix AZ has 3 = 866-613-1789.
