Spedo cable

Hi all;

I am using the original spedo in a 51, f-3. I have instaled a
390/c-6 trans. does any one know if a adapter is available for
the spedo cable? or is there a cable that would work?


Thanks.

Paul.

Paul,

Mid-fifty offers a c-4 and c-6speedo cable. I dont know if this style they offer will work on a 51 head.

Call them at 1-800-252-1956 this info was on page 35 in the 2000 catalog

Hi paul,
Not sure if this is what you are looking for (ratio adapter), but I guess it couldn't hurt to check it out.
